The Quiet Man

For those with an interest in Irish history, the Galway O'Malleys are also related to Granuelle. If you do not know who she was, look her up. A fascinating woman!

I know it's campy now, but I LOVED Jet Pilot (1957) with he and Janet Leigh. The Cold War was legit, as so many young people now do not realize.

Michaleen Flynn: "He's a nice, quiet, peace-loving man, come home to Ireland to forget his troubles. Sure, yes, yes, he's a millionare, you know, like all the Yanks. But he's eccentric - ooh, he is eccentric! Wait 'til I show ya... his bag to sleep in - a sleeping bag, he calls it! Here, let me show you how it operates."

Michaleen Flynn: "Well it's a nice, soft night, so I think I'll go and join me comrades and talk a little treason."

"That's the ancestral home of the Flynns. It was stolen from us by....by the Druids."

Updating for the OP's question about other film recommendations where pipe smoking occurs.
The Wolfman (1941) - Lon Chaney classic; I just watched the Blu-Ray version last night and at least 3 characters were caught with pipe in hand.

That's a great movie. Really like John Ford.
Edward G Robinson is a smooth smoker in "The Stranger".
"There Will be Blood" is cool. Daniel has a good rotation of pipes in a mason jar in place of a pipe rack. That seems correct/well researched. I always thought it interesting at the end when Daniel is pretty wrecked with alcoholism he is smoking cigs instead of his pipe.
