I know they sort of "celebrate" part of the movie being filmed there. Not all of it was! AND I found out since that while John Ford paid $10 for the rights, he promised the author more once the film was made. Whew. I felt sorry for the guy - guess the writer didn't get shafted after all. ;-)Meghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10734148270217773194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-19878860656947548862013-03-18T08:46:28.402-05:002013-03-18T08:46:28.402-05:00I've been to several of the locations where...I've been to several of the locations where'The Quiet Man' was filmed, including the bridge and the pub in the village of Cong. The original cottage no longer exists, but there is a 'replica' in Cong - and you can imagine our surprise when we saw Maureen O'Hara's name in the visitor book there!Paula Martinhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10040623635956769807noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1409887812566625284.post-51582727747908553642013-03-17T22:52:43.923-05:002013-03-17T22:52:43.923-05:00Meg, sorry to be so late getting here.

When we were in Ireland, we saw where the film was shot, and visited the B&B where Maureen O'Hara stayed during filming. The owner changed a closet into a tiny bath and shower for her.
