Luke Gibbons is a Professor at the University of Notre Dame, Indiana.
In The Quiet Man, Luke Gibbons takes a thoughtful, detailed and
absorbing approach to the history, myths and resonances of John
Ford s 1951 Irish classic, a film which, Gibbons notes, has
garnered accolades from directors as diverse as Spielberg and
Scorsese, (while) for others it is the bane of Irish cinema.' "
Review of the Ireland into Film series: "Each writer has also done
an impressive amount of new archive research, which greatly
enhances the series' value as fim history and film research. The
volumes give full production details and where possible, contain
good background interviews with writers and directors .Each volume
is lavishly illustrated so that as well as providing good detailed
information on the films and an engaged debate about adaptation in
general, the series is also an excellent value for the
collector"
