I have been a movie collector for just over 40 years, first on Super 8mm, then 16mm, then DVD & now Blu Ray. The Quiet Man had been a favorite for me & both of my parents also. We have had copies on 8mm, which was very rare & then on DVD. The print quality of these various formats had been not the very greatest compared to prints of other movie, but when this is all that is available, then you are grateful for what you can get. It was not a movie that I thought would benefit from the advantages that Blu Ray can offer. Here though Masters of the Cinema have made a new 4K scan from the original camera negative. The results are, in a word, stunning. The unbelievably gorgeous Technicolor cinematography boasts all of the incredible variety of greens imaginable, but best of all, the reds are simply rock solid, from the slight auburn tint of O'Hara's hair to the deeper crimson of the dress she sometimes wears. The image is so wonderfully sharp and precise that in one scene where O'Hara is talking with Wayne, I was able to see a multitude of ants on a single rock. Absolutely stunning & highly recommended for any fans of this timeless classic. The Quiet Man won the 1952 Oscars for :Best Director John Ford & Best Cinematography, Color. Winton C.
