Dec 1, 2011 · This was the first feature-length film ever made. The troupe became known as the “El Kalems.” (A delightful description can be found in John McGowan’s “Hollywood’s First Australian, the Adventurous life of J. P.

- The Quiet Man Cottage. The same can’t be said for the real (I say real as there is a replica) The Quiet Man Cottage which is now in a state of ruin. The thatched cottage was the ancestral home bought by Sean Thornton when he returned to Ireland and it was one of the more iconic The Quiet Man filming locations.
