[edit] Objection to Taming of the Shrew portion

Unless a source is provided for the lengthy essay regarding the similarities between The Quiet Man and The Taming of the Shrew, I think it out to be removed as original research. The fact that the section is signed by the editor and lacks citations to prove the research came from another source indicates that it is indeed original research and should thus be removed.

I agree. I thought of removing it myself, then decided to wait a bit to see if anyone else agreed with me. If a citation can be found for it, that would be different. For instance, there are a gazillion citations for saying that "Forbidden Planet" is like "The Tempest". Mebbe so, mebbe not, but at least a lot of sources have *said* it is.

I agree with the removal but I must say that this was really an excellent passage that I enjoyed reading. A really perceptive bit of film analysis. --Mantanmoreland 16:03, 23 January 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Goofs

• Look closely when Wayne is in the dog cart-these scenes were made on a stage and not outside.

[edit] Irony

• Victor McLaglen was an ex-profesional Prize fighter before becoming an actor. John Wayne was an actor playing an ex-professional prize figther.

[edit] Fair use rationale for Image:Quiet man.jpg

Image:Quiet man.jpg is being used on this article. I notice the image page specifies that the image is being used under fair use but there is no explanation or rationale as to why its use in this Wikipedia article constitutes fair use. In addition to the boilerplate fair use template, you must also write out on the image description page a specific explanation or rationale for why using this image in each article is consistent with fair use.

Please go to the image description page and edit it to include a fair use rationale. Using one of the templates at Wikipedia:Fair use rationale guideline is an easy way to insure that your image is in compliance with Wikipedia policy, but remember that you must complete the template. Do not simply insert a blank template on an image page.

If there is other fair use media, consider checking that you have specified the fair use rationale on the other images used on this page. Note that any fair use images lacking such an explanation can be deleted one week after being tagged, as described on criteria for speedy deletion. If you have any questions please ask them at the Media copyright questions page. Thank you.

[edit] Main theme

Is the main theme (heard at the beginning, played by the pipes before the race and heard during the dragging of Mary Kate) specially composed for the film or is it a traditional tune? --Error (talk) 00:21, 10 March 2008 (UTC)

It's an traditional Irish tune called The Rakes of Mallow. The article could indeed be improved with some information about the soundtrack. --Gliese581 (talk) 21:39, 10 March 2008 (UTC)
