The two lead characters - Sean and Mary Kate - were named after director John Ford's first name (in Irish) and the two ladies John Wayne loved the most - Mary (his wife) and Kate (Katharine Hepburn).
According to John Ford, Republic Pictures head Herbert J. Yates disliked the title and wanted the film renamed "The Prizefighter and the Colleen". Ford disagreed as he was worried the title would give the plot away. Luckily, he prevailed.
Maureen O'Hara broke a bone in her hand while slapping John Wayne during the scene when they first kiss. Since the movie wasn't being filmed in sequential order, she couldn't wear a cast to fix the fracture. If that wasn't enough, poor Maureen had no stunt double for the scene when Wayne drags her across the fields back to the village - and was lef...
Nevertheless, Maureen O'Hara later revealed that The Quiet Manwas her favourite of her films, and is even said to have listened to its soundtrack shortly before her death aged 95 on October 24, 2015.
The Quiet Manis one of the few Hollywood films in which the native Irish language is spoken. Other movies featuring Irish scenes include Darby O'Gill and the Little People (1959), The Wind That Shakes the Barley (2006) and The Guard(2011).

The Quiet Man was the second of five movies that paired John Wayne and Maureen O'Hara - the other four being Rio Grande (1950), The Wings of Eagles (1957), McLintock! (1963) and Big Jake(1971).
The train station featured in the film, located in Ballyglunin, Co. Galway, fell into repair in the six decades since the film's release but was restored last yearthanks to a huge €80,000 grant from the Irish Government. The famed location was saved from dereliction in 2017 when the Ballyglunin Community Development Company (BCDC) raised over €30,0...
A replica of the famous thatched cottage in the movie is located at Maam Cross in Co. Galway. There is also a replica in the village of Cong in Co. Mayo - where much of the film was shot.
The Quiet Man is 5578 on the JustWatch Daily Streaming Charts today. The movie has moved up the charts by 938 places since yesterday. In the United States, it is currently more popular than 2 Guns but less popular than Amal: A free spirit.
