Abstract

This chapter challenges the traditional narrative of cultural polarities in and around The Quiet Man by analyzing both the representation of the making of the film in Ireland and the reception of the film in 1950s media and state discourse. Cronin then turns to the memorialization and adaptation of the film and its making in the main contemporary “Making of” The Quiet Man museum in Ireland. These explorations challenge the notion of The Quiet Man’s Irish imaginary as mired in Irish American fantasy. They also initiate the book’s case for museum exhibitions as adaptations, and the book’s consideration of the relationship between adaptation and re-enactment.
