Description:
Sixty year-old Huw Morgan looks back on his life as a boy (Roddy McDowall) in a small Welsh mining town. His reminiscences reveal the disintegration of the closely knit Morgans, and his devoted parents (Donald Crisp, Sara Allgood), while capturing the sentiments and issues of their time. Maureen O'Hara and Walter Pidgeon co-star in this acclaimed screen classic, the story of one family's dreams, struggles and triumphs.
Amazon.com essential video:
John Ford's beautiful, heartfelt drama about a close-knit family of Welsh coal miners is one of the greatest films of Hollywood's golden age--a gentle masterpiece that beat Citizen Kane in the Best Picture race for the 1941 Academy Awards. The picture also won Oscars for Best Director (Ford), Best Supporting Actor (Donald Crisp), Best Art Direction, and Best Cinematography; all of those awards were richly deserved, even if they came at the expense of Kane and Orson Welles. Based on the novel by Richard Llewellyn, the film focuses its eventful story on 10-year-old Huw (Roddy McDowall), youngest of seven children to Mr. and Mrs. Morgan (Donald Crisp, Sarah Allgood), a hardy couple who've seen the best and worst of times in their South Wales mining town. They're facing one of the worst times as Mr. Morgan refuses to join a miners union whose members have begun a long-term strike. Family tensions grow and Huw must learn many of life's harsher lessons under the tutelage of the local preacher (Walter Pidgeon), who has fallen in love with Huw's sister (Maureen O'Hara). As various crises are confronted and devastating losses endured, How Green Was My Valley unfolds as a rich, moving portrait of family strength and integrity. It's also a nod to a simpler, more innocent time--and to the preciousness of memory and the inevitable passage from youth to adulthood. An all-time classic, not to be missed. --Jeff Shannon

You need a rainy day a warm fire and this movie to have a perfectly wonderful trip back in time. The actors and the mining towns put you right inside of the homes and you feel like one of the family the way this story is told. I am sure you will enjoy this one, It's worth a couple hours of your time.

The starkness of the black and white film photography adds to the mood and captures the essence of life in the mining towns of Wales and the social conditions that continue to impact the lives of countless of millions on our planet even today. The strength and integrity of the characters add a realism we no longer find in contemporary film with all of its superficialities which unfortunately reflect much of what passes for relationships in the current milieu. The character actors take over this ... Read More

This movie has worth in that it provides insight into the traditional Welsh culture. It shows many of the difficulties of life working in the mines. Which is really and truly a prime example of the fall-out from the Industrial Revolution. It is very popular in Celtic circles for the fact that it features some of the traditional Male Voice Singers, a Welsh tradition. As far as the plot is concerned, I didn't really find the love story all that compelling. Maureen O'Hara does well in this movie, ... Read More
