What Others Said
John Chard:
I'm glad to see that you do something else besides smuggling.
The Quiet Woman is directed by John Gilling and Gilling writes the screenplay from a story by Ruth Adams. It stars Derek Bond, Jane Hylton, Dora Bryan, Michael Balfour, Dianne Foster and John Horsley. Music is by John Lanchbery and cinematography is by Monty Berman.
The Quiet Woman of the title is double meaning, it's the name of the Inn that Jane Foster (Hylton) has become the landlady of, while it also appertains to herself once the story takes its turn into thriller territory.
It's a decent enough "B" picture, where a smuggling discovery leads to romance, which leads to jealousy (Foster is a great bitch here), which leads to something from the past surfacing to set up for the nifty last quarter. The short running time means the pic doesn't have time to bore, but the whole splendid time capsule of the era is enjoyable, and so too is the East Sussex waterside locations used on the production. 6/10
