		Gypo Nolan (McLaglen) is a former member of the Irish Republican Army (IRA) who had been banished from the organization for having endangered its existence.
		Although his constitution is large, he drinks heavily during the entire film, and it is a wonder he still can walk or have any knowledge of his actions by the end of the film.
		McLaglen's performance is exceptional, truly worthy of an Oscar.

	The Quiet Man
		Returning to the Ireland of his birth, director John Ford fashions a irresistable valentine to the "Auld Sod" in The Quiet Man. Irish-American boxer John Wayne, recovering from the trauma of having accidentally killed a man in the ring, arrives in the Irish village where he was born.
		Her insistence that Wayne conduct his courtship in a proper Irish manner-with puckish matchmaker Barry Fitzgerald along for the ride as "chaperone"--is but one obstacle to their future happiness: the other is McLaglen, who spitefully refuses to give his consent to his sister's marriage, or to honor the tradition of paying a dowry to Wayne.
		But McLaglen finds he's been tricked and the situation remains at a standoff, with the frustrated Wayne locked out of his wife's bedroom.

		The Irish in John Ford's Seventh Cavalry trilogy - Victor McLaglen's stooge-Irish character.(Popular Literature and Film)
		Victor McLaglen's portrayal of Irish characters in John Ford's trilogy of Seventh Cavalry films reinforced the stereotypical views of the time of Irish as essentially interested in combat, singing, dancing and drinking.
		Ford was Irish-American and often promoted Ireland in many of his films, but Ford's willingness to incorporate a simplistic view of his culture is one of his shortcomings.

		McLaglen gives an exceptional performance but, like others who have reviewed this film, I really wish they could have gotten the date correct on the opening title card for the sake of future viewers (who likely haven't a clue about Irish history anyway).
		McLaglen's portrayal of a tormented soul was his best screen performance, and the scene where he's tried in a basement by the IRA is marvelous.
		Very early the next morning, however, McLaglen was awoken from a horrific hangover and told that the schedule had been changed.

		Victor McLaglen gave the performance of his life as the scar-faced betrayer, Gypo Nolan, in this telling adaptation of Liam O'Flaherty's novel, directed by John Ford.
		Ford's tale of a hard-drinking brute who informs on one of his friends in order to collect a reward during the Irish Civil War of 1922 was made for a mere $243,000, and stands as one of the director's finer 1930s films.
		His selection of Victor McLaglen, who had starred in his other memorable talkie, THE LOST PATROL, was a masterstroke.

	Victor McLaglen - Films as actor:
		Given this change in style and given his acting strengths, McLaglen could only continue to flourish as the comic character actor—his oscillation between farce and sentimentality in the role of sergeant in John Ford's cavalry films such as Fort Apache, She Wore a Yellow Ribbon, and Rio Grande.
		It may be a fulsome but not inappropriate analogy to compare McLaglen's sergeant in the cavalry films and his role of the overbearing squire in The Quiet Man to some of Shakespeare's clowns, if in no other way than their common exuberance and almost excessive sense of life.
		Outside of John Ford's realm—when McLaglen is playing neither the acharné role of the 1930s nor the ingratiating buffoon of the later films—he is nothing beyond mere histrionic grimaces and gestures.

		As the lumbering Gypo Nolan, Ford cast the action star Victor McLaglen in a performance that used McLaglen's own bulk and hamminess to create one of the sound cinema's first authentic anti-heros.
		His improvised dialogue in the trial sequence is high-key, and well-tuned to the desperation and suspense of the moment.
		By the end of the shoot he was jittery and exhausted from the emotional demands an uncompromising Ford had placed on him.

		Mae West butts heads with Victor McLaglen in Raoul Walsh's Klondike Annie, but the real victor was the Legion of Decency, whose censorship strictures transformed a saucy and spicy gumbo into something closer to chicken noodle soup.
		It is a great testament to her talent that Mae still makes it a memorable performance with a couple of terrific scenes in the funny breakfast scene on the boat with Victor McLaglen and her dealings with the missionaries on arriving in the Klondike being two comic standouts in the story.
		While Victor McLaglen at first glance might not appear your typical Mae West costar with his craggy looks and rough speech, the two combine well together here and are responsible for some of the best laughs that the edited script has to offer.

		Bob Hope is in top form in this Technicolor parody of pirate pictures, doing his best vaudeville shtick as an inept performer trying to save princess Virginia Mayo from the evil clutches of governor Walter Slezak and pirate Victor McLaglen.
