The Field And The Quiet Man

Spoiler Alert
Two films, one dramatic and dark, the other a classic romantic comedy, but both very similiar in plot.
Set in Ireland The Field starred aging Richard Harris as a man desperete to buy a piece of land owned by a young widow. That's a bit like Victor Mclaglen and Mildred Natwick.
Enter an American, who annoys Harris by buying the land instead. In the end Harris kills the American in a fight, not quite like the Wayne/Maclaglen battle which, though realistic, was played for laughs.
