John Wayne, Ward Bond, Maureen Ohara all in some of their best performances in a movie that took 7 Oscars. This is the only Hollywood movie I know of that contains the Spoken . The fight between Ward Bond and John Wayne is also the longest on film when Wayne drug Maureen to the scene of the fight she ended up with a bruise that lasted for days and got carried through sheep droppings and over rocks and all sorts of stuff, they didn't bother to clear the field! There are few changes by the town of Cong in County Mayo since the movie, but one of the changes made by the cast and crew in 1952 when they made the movie was electricity which the village hadn't had until then.
