Subject: RE: The Quiet Man Film
Ron, I guess you'll just have to take it from a "chick" that that ain't a chick flick! When the woman's story is told from the man's POV, and she is treated that way, it isn't a chick flick. If John Wayne is in it, it isn't a chick flick. (The closest he ever came: McClintock) If it has boxing, it isn't a chick flick, and if she's turned on by the fighting, that's usually a pretty clear marker that it isn't a chick flick.
IMHO.
