Favorite O'Hara Movie

Quote from chester7777

. . . The Spanish Main? It is not readily available, that we can tell, and on Amazon, it is only available from their French site. Is your copy French? Parles voux francais?

OK, so we actually checked Amazon (US) and discovered that they have one available, "used & new" category, for a mere $115.99 . I've heard of inflation, but that's ridiculous.

Just thought I'd let you know the price has dropped considerable since September of 2006, as Amazon has a used copy (import) for $21.79. Deep Discount has some other pirate movies with Ms. O'Hara for very reasonable prices.

In fact, we sort of went crazy and ordered a bunch of other Maureen O'Hara pirate movies - The Black Swan, Jamaica Inn, and some other titles included in a DVD with 4 titles of pirate films.

We will be having a little pirate fest in about a week!

Hi everyone,
the Quiet man was wonderful,but,I don't forget my first movie to met her.
that's "The Long Gray Line".
in this movie,O'Hara acting young lady to old lady.
especially,in 1st scene her entrance, she was very charming.

regards,
sanada

I would have voted for 'The Quiet Man', as she was wonderful in that...but I just finished watching 'How Green Was My Valley', so I voted for that one, as a sentimental favorite.

We had some fun watching several pirate movies a few weeks ago. Maureen O'Hara was in The Black Swan and another one, Against All Flags, a film included on one of the multi-title DVDs. Jamaica Inn, Ms. O'Hara's first film, was supposed to be on one of the multi-title discs, but disappointedly was not (though listed on the cover), so we didn't get to see that one after all.

It was interesting to see her in such a role. In Against All Flags, she was actually wielding a sword with the best of them!

Other than Maureen's films with the Duke, my favorites were "Miracle on 34th Street" and this one.

Looks like a good movie.

It's funny as hell, Mike. It was the first of the Mr. Belvedere movies and although Robert Young and Clifton Webb had more prominent roles than Maureen, she wasn't just an extra. Clifton Webb steals the show though.

Must admit Stumpy that I have never heard of "this one." I know what it is, I just wanted everyone to point and click to see it themselves. I did see that it is not on DVD. Looks like a good movie.

Cheers

We hadn't heard of "this" movie (Sitting Pretty) either. Not only is it not on DVD, getting it on VHS is not cheap. Amazon offers "12 used and new" copies starting at $41.95, going all the way up to $129.90! Right this minute, it is not available at ebay at all.

However, reading the plot, it does sound VERY good, and we will certainly watch it if we have opportunity. Thanks, Stumpy, for bringing this to our attention.

The movie I liked was Maureen's role in McLintock,I thought she did a great job

Jim,
ebay currently has several copies of the movie available for much less than the prices you quote.

THANKS, Stumpy! I've got a couple of the auctions on watch. I had forgotten about this movie, so I appreciate the reminder.

My favorite Maureen O'Hara movie is The Quiet Man, my wife doesn't like it because of when John drags Maureen back to her brother, although she does like when Maureen threatens to bean her brother

My wife's favorite is Rio Grande.

I voted for the Quiet Man, watched it loads of times, and still enjoy it, it's a great romp !!

Recently watched the lovely lady in Jamaica Inn and How Green Was My Valley, just to see her in different roles, good movies but both are black and white and I really missed the " zing '' you get watching her in glorious colour....

it has to be the quite man.to see this irish women standing up to john wayne is just brill.

What is "brill"?
