फ़ीचर्ड समीक्षाएं
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, 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
There's some good camerawork by Monty Berman, but this sort of movie, which tries to retain the audience's interest by the occasional Surprising Revelation doesn't do much to interest me. Character is revealed by action, not talk - unless it's one of those movies in which the characters are terribly clever people who say interesting things, which these people aren't.
Harry Towb was very good as Jim, he added something that had lacked, a bit of grit. His appearance does change things up.
I just love Dora Bryan, she was a true unique talent, she adds a lift to this film.
It looks very nice, good location work, it's nicely filmed, and stands up well.
It's a good, if slow moving film, 6/10.

Duncan McLeod: Morning, Jane. Lovely morning.
Jane Foster: Good morning, Mr McLeod.
Duncan McLeod: Did I mention that my other name was Duncan?
Jane Foster: I believe you did. I don't remember mentioning that mine was Jane.
Duncan McLeod: Obviously an oversight
Jane Foster: [looking at him painting] I'm glad to see that you do something else besides smuggling.
Duncan McLeod: Oh, yes.
Jane Foster: Why do you smuggle?
Duncan McLeod: Keeps me out of mischief. I'm afraid you take rather a poor view of me, don't you?
Jane Foster: Possibly. It's quite a normal view to take of people who break laws. I mean, willfully break them.
Duncan McLeod: Trying to tell me you've never broken one yourself?
Jane Foster: What do you mean by that?
Duncan McLeod: Well we all do from time to time, don't we? Some more than others. You know - extra rations, dodging income tax and so forth. Quite human little failings really.
Jane Foster: Does smuggling liquor across the Channel come under the category of a human little failing?
Duncan McLeod: Oh, definitely.
Jane Foster: If you ever get caught, I hope the Customs authorities take the same view.
Duncan McLeod: Thank you! Didn't think you cared that much.
Jane Foster: I don't! If you want the truth, Mr McLeod, I hate people like you. You don't smuggle because you need the money, you do it out of bravado; because you think it's smart to get away with something.
Duncan McLeod: I wouldn't say that...
Jane Foster: Your worse than a real crook because you can look at what you're doing objectively and know that it's wrong. You think it's a good joke. But it's not. It's bad...
Duncan McLeod: You look wonderful!
Jane Foster: You make me quite sick, Mr McLeod!
