That's a great copy to have! 
I love listening to Maureen O'Hara's commentary during the film too.

One brother played an "IRA man" (and assisted in pre-production/ scouting locations, etc), the other played "Father Paul", the young priest who was Ward Bond's protégée.

Add to that list "The Secret of Roan Inish".
We love "The Quiet Man" around here, its my favourite Wayne film (amongst many). A few years ago I bought a bonnet for my daughter that (except for colour) is an exact copy of the one Maureen O'Hara wore in the film.
(now I'm going to head off to watch Sean Thornton & company...thanks! :mrgreen
