(Best film ever) One for my favourite actor is John Wayne The movie was about In the 1920s, Sean Thornton, an Irish-born American from Pittsburgh, travels to Ireland reclaim his family`s farm and his birthplace in Inisfree. He meets and falls in love with the fiery Mary Kate Danaher, the sister of the bullying, loud-mouthed landowner Squire "Red" Will Danaher). Danaher, who had wanted the farm himself, is angry that the Widow Tillane (herelf) angered by Danaher`s admission that he had discussed he rin the local pub) accepts Sean`s bid, and retaliates byrefusing consent for his sister to marry. Several twon locals, including the Catholic priest, Father Lonergan. conspire to trick him into believing that the wealthy widow Tillane wants to marry him, but only if Mary Kate is no longer living in his house After learning the truth on Sean and Mary Kate`s weeding day, an enraged will refuses to give his sister her dowry which is made up of a large sum of money and her family possessions password down for her mother. Sean, unschooled in Irish customs, cares nothing about the dowry, but to Mary Kate the dowry represents her independeace, indentity, and pride. She feels passionately and intensely that the dowry is hers and is needed to validate her marriage to Sean. Angered and shamed by Sean`s refusal to confront her brother and demand what is legally hers, she brands him a coward, and despite living together, they are quickly estranged as husband and wife. In the morning they find that others in the village had visited Will and presured him to return Mary Kate`s furniture, but not her money.
