...and Maureen O'Hara and Merv Griffin.
This album is connected with the movie but isn’t the original soundtrack.
As I commented in another thread, it’s one of the finest movies I’ve ever seen. Unforgettable!
Directed by John Ford and with John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara playing the leads, The Quiet Man is a Technicolor American romantic comedy-drama film that won the Academy Award for Best Director (Ford’s fourth and making him, by now, the only director with four Best Director Oscars) and for Best Cinematography, Color.
Themes and Songs from The Quiet Man was released initially by Decca Records as a 10” LP with eight tracks in 1952. It has mainly Young’s own compositions for the film. However, throughout the movie, the tune Isle of Innisfree is heard on many occasions and Decca decided to include Bing Crosby’s recording of it to add commercial appeal and they also added Crosby’s huge hit from 1947 Galway Bay for the same reason.
The present edition from 2014 extends the album issued by Decca including Irish folk songs sung by Maureen O’Hara and Merv Griffin and three Bing Crosby tracks recorded for the film but not used.
I’ve started two others threads related to movie: The Victor Young - John Ford Collaboration (HERE (Thread 226400)) and The Quiet Man (1952) OST Re-recorded (HERE (Thread 228027)).
