    How Green Was My Valley

    Reviewed by

    John Ford's tribute to Welsh miners won the best picture of 1941 beating out Citizen Kane, which I have truly never loved as a great piece of cinematic art. Ford also took the best direction of the year. The lives of one family come especially into play at a devastating time of an upcoming coal strike. We witness the life or ordinary folk, their joys but a lot of their pain. The feature is shot so beautifully in B & W with an outstanding Oscar Winning Cinematography by Arthur Miller. The cast is pure gold, from every player, with dynamic performances from Supporting Oscar Winner Donald Crisp as the father of the clan and a Nomination for The very talented Sara Allgood as the Mother. Maureen O'Hara was never more beautiful, Walter Pigeon never so pious and a young Roddy McDowall who will break your heart. MUST SEE CINEMA!
