John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara team up again under the direction of John Ford (previously teamed up for Rio Grande). The premise of the film is that Wayne plays a man returning Ireland and the home he grew up in after living in America.We get hints of his past throughout and the reason for his return but the film is primarily a romance and his attempts to win the girl next door. Battling Irish customs, the two are already in love, and the film centers around the two of them coming together.
I couldn't understand if some of the characters were supposed to be comic relief or taken seriously. I found the entire film to be hokey and fake. The sets were ridiculous. Him dragging her from the train by her hair was disrespectful to women, and treated like it was normal and ok. The whole movie was silly and outdated. Outdated because it did not translate into something worth watching now, or at least explain the reasoning for the customs of the time period.
I don't know if there are better films to watch from these two, because I just haven't seen many films from either. So I'll reserve comment on what should be watching in place of this.
