Same movie, Ned Devine is also known as
Waking Ned Devine.

The Field
The Field, umm what's that quote from the Devil's Own,
"Don't look for a happy ending. It's not an American story. It's an Irish one." You could say that about The Quiet Man and The Field. They are similar in the set up of each story, an American goes to Ireland and buys property. However after that they go in two different directions, with two different endings. The Quiet Man (John Wayne/Maureen O'Hara) is the American story with a happy ending when the characters of Wayne and O'Hara get married and resolve all their problems by burning money.
The Field is darker, more serious and depressing. It's like a rebuttal to The Quiet Man saying, "no, it wouldn't happen that way, this is the way it would happen ..."
