THE QUIET MAN (APRIL 1991)

Alex O'Boyle owns a sheep farm on the slopes of Glenariff, one of the most beautiful of Antrim's glens. He's lived there all his life. Hail, rain and snow, he climbs the steep hillside with a speed that would shame men half his age, the dog his constant, though acknowledged, companion.
