The Horse Soldiers by John Wayne
Civil War
Our family of five boys (and some Irish heritage) watched this film repeatedly, and loved it then and now.
"The screenplay by Frank S. Nugent was based on a 1933 Saturday Evening Post short story of the same name by Maurice Walsh, later published as part of a collection titled The Green Rushes." -
"The film employed many actors from the Irish theatre, including Barry Fitzgerald's brother, Arthur Shields, as well as extras from the Irish countryside, and it is one of the few Hollywood movies in which the Irish language can be heard.
Filming commenced on June 7, 1951.[citation needed]
All of the outdoor scenes were shot on location in Ireland in County Mayo and County Galway. ... Ford made considerable efforts to get the costumes correct for the period with Ó’Maille – The Original House of Style in Galway tasked with sourcing the costumes."
