John
Ford’s The Quiet Man remains
the quintessential
film about Ireland and its people.
• Released
in 1952 the film can truly be judged
as ‘timeless’ as
thousands still flock every year
to the village of Cong in Co. Mayo
where it was filmed.
• The film was used to launch
the concept of budget video in the
1980s and recorded phenomenal sales.
• Universal’s release of
the DVD in 2006 has recorded sales
of close to 300,000.
• This release features the complete
score of the film, penned by Victor
Young.
• The music, performed by The
Dublin Screen Orchestra conducted
by Kenneth Alwyn was recorded in Ireland.
• Includes the traditional Irish
Airs: The Isle Of Innisfree, The
Wild Colonial Boy, Galway Bay and I’ll Take You Home Again Kathleen.
• This new mid-price reissue comes
complete with a newly designed cover
image. |
