In celebration of St. Patrick’s Day, the Grange Classic Film series presents "The Quiet Man", a 1952 romantic comedy-drama directed and produced by John Ford, starring John Wayne, Maureen O'Hara and Barry Fitzgerald.

After accidentally killing an opponent in the ring, boxer Sean Thornton leaves America and returns to his native Ireland, hoping to buy his family's homestead and live in peace. Instead, he falls in love with a fiery redhead, whose angry and spiteful brother tries to block the marriage.

The film features Winston Hoch's lush photography of the Irish countryside and won the Academy Award for Best Director and for Best Cinemotography. Classic Film Series organizer, Lenny Barham, will provide commentary and insights. Stay after the movie for dinner: soup, salad, bread and dessert. Movie admission is by donation. Dinner is $10.
