The theme of "The Quiet Man" by Maurice Walsh revolves around the idea of personal identity and the struggle of balancing tradition with personal desires. The protagonist, Shawn Thornton, must navigate his own values and expectations in the face of societal pressures and family traditions. Ultimately, the story explores themes of independence, love, and cultural identity.
When the boys find out (in the hotel room) Jake tells them...
"There were seven Mc Candles people killed, one crippled, your own brother shot maybe crippled, maybe even dead, and my grandson kidnapped, I ain't gonna pay 'em for that."
Jake re-words what John Thane tells him only minutes before about his grandson they are their to pay the ransom for:
"Now you understand. Anything goes wrong, anything at all, your fault, my fault, nobodys fault, I'm gonna blow your head off. It's as simple as that. No matter what else happens, no matter who else gets killed, I'm gonna blow your head off."
None of the participants have ever revealed what she said.
Knowing how directors get spontaneous reactions from their actors, it is REASONABLE to assume that John Ford had O'Hara say something raunchy in Wayne's ear in order to get a genuine surprised reaction. But that's just a guess.
Very small. No larger than size 10. Need proof? Watch any movie and compare his feet to other actors. Unless Dean Martin wore size 16 , I just watched Rio Bravo and compared them. Also , in Hitari , JW has a barefooted scene.

No. You may have your biblical epics confused. John Wayne did appear in 'The Greatest Story Ever Told'
John Wayne would be the first to admit that he could consume vast quantities of alcohol. But it was not on a daily basis. When he would hang with friends away from the hussle and bussle of film-making they could stay awake for two or three days in a row drinking and playing cards. Yes, he could drink most of his friends under the table, as they say, but it was merely boys being boys. It never seemed to interfere with his work or his personal life.
According to John Wayne and Television by Billy Ingram "John Wayne stepped up the pace of his TV appearances in the seventies to bolster the box-office receipts for his latest detective dramas and rope operas."
Wayne spanked O'Hara in The Quiet Man and McClintock.
John Wayne Died June 11, 1979 in California at the UCLA Medical Center.
Mcclintok
First, the actual quotation is: "somebody oughta belt you in the mouth. But I won't, I won't. The hell I won't! " Second, the movie title is spelled 'McLintock!' It is Radar O'Reilly's Wayne impersonation from M*A*S*H that begins "I'm not gonna hit you..."

The Answer is Pre-Law.
John Wayne played Sandy Saunders in Riders of Destiny.
Yes, Ben Peters did paint a picture of John Wayne. I own one.
John Wayne won Best Actor for his portrayal of Marshall Rooster Cogburn.
Of Wayne's three marriages his second was the most tumultuous and probably the one he would have rather kept quiet about. Wayne, never a stranger to alcohol, had married a woman who could and did drink more than he did. She accused him of spousal abuse and even claimed he once threw her shall in the mud. Worse yet, her mother lived with them and the mother drank at least as much as her daughter.
It is probably true there was too much drinking going on. But whether he actually hit her is unknown and probably just gossip. I would imagine had she really been hit police would have been involved. That was never the case. Wayne once made the comment that his second wife was too evil to conceive (they had no children together despite Wayne's obvious fertility). What is true is that this same wife almost shot him when he returned from a night out. She claimed it was mistaken identity, thinking a burglar had broken in. Maybe she did, maybe she didn't. Whatever the truth is we may never know. She died within a year of their divorce. I believe it was alcohol related.
