Maybe I'm biased towards a fellow Iowan (Wayne, or rather, Morrison, having been born in Winterset) or my Irish ancestry, but Good Lord, wasn't he just gorgeous in "The Quiet Man?" Retired American boxer Sean Thornton comes back to his birth place in Ireland and ready to put his mysterious past behind him. But he finds himself infatuated with Mary Kate (Maureen O'Hara) and incurs the wrath of her older brother, his past just might catch back up with him. There's something strangely attractive about Wayne in this movie than the others, maybe it was because he was able to stretch his comedic chops or maybe it was that undeniable chemistry with Maureen O'Hara in their third movie together. Either way, he is strong, silent, and utterly mysterious, just like I like my old Hollywood actors.
