How Green Was My Valley
Directed by John Ford
1941
★ 2.1 editorial score
John Ford built an entire Welsh mining village in the California hills and shot it like memory: a colliery family in a valley the pit is slowly ruining, narrated by the youngest son.
“This is the story of the Morgans, a Celtic mining clan, as seen through the eyes of Huw, the youngest of the brood...And it is, by implication, the story of a good people's doom, the story of how the black coal wrung so perilously from the fair earth darkens the lives of those who dig it and befouls the verdant valley in which they live.”
