    OK, was not expecting that. Guess he got bored now that he doesn’t have a brother to terrorize or a pretty lady and her little sister to try to seduce. Not that he was particularly good at either.

    The Reverend Cyril Playfair was a character in the John Wayne film “The Quiet Man.” He was the vicar for the Irish village of Inisfree. His hobby was sports and he had done a bit of boxing in his younger days.

    There is a climactic fight between Wayne’s character and the local squire, who was a bully. Rev Playfair makes a bet with the visiting bishop on the outcome of the fight.

    It’s a really good film. You can find it on Youtube

      Steve, It’s awesome to hear that someone else is a fan of THE QUIET MAN!
      It is not just John Wayne’s best film by a WIDE margin, or John Ford’s best film either. It’s one of the best films of it’s era. And, yes, I stole the “Reverend Playfair” out of reverence.
