Beginning with the joys of a happy, hard working family, but when a mining strike occurs with the absence of unions it starts to put uneasiness in the family. Still we are aware of this being a perseverant clan who try to battle through Expertly directed by the best, John Ford, beautifully photographed, featuring a great cast (even though they're mostly Irish) turning in wonderful performances. Somewhat has the stigma of being an overrated film by beating out Citizen Kane, and Maltese Falcon for the best picture Oscar, but this one shouldn't be missed. Rating, 10 out of 10. ", 'Gorgeous work, involving melodrama, gorgeous Maureen O\'Hara! How Green Was My Valley is involving melodrama, of the "tell us a story" kind. Hew Morgan, as an old man, remembers the Welsh mining village (and valley) of his youth, particularly the strike which divided his family, the girl who he fell in love with and married his older brother, and his beautiful sister (Maureen O\'Hara) and her thwarted love for the decent preacher Mr Gruffydd (Walter Pigeon). Another work of nostalgia and sentiment from John Ford. Naive and simplified, but intentionally. Ford knew he was calling up a bygone age, with a campness and naivety to go with it, a bit like Selznick did with Gone with the Wind, and indeed many movies did at this time. Moviegoers at this time were nothing like the antiquated Welsh characters in period garb we have here. This called for just as much escapsim from them as it does for us - but, if you like, moviegoers were used to the characters not resembling themselves back then. But the greatest treats are for film buffs - How Green Was My Valley is a stunning work visually. I don\'t know that i would have given it the Oscar above Citizen Kane, but everyone knows the esablishment rewards people who do what is expected, but do it really well (John Ford) instead of people who wrapped up all their old tricks and delivered it to them in a beast they didn\'t recognise (Orson Welles). Its ironic, actually, that these two should be competing this year for Best Picture, because watching some of Ford\'s pre-Orson Welles flicks, you can tell that, like Orson told us, he did take the ceiling from Stagecoach. Ford did invent the ceiling in cinema. You can see it in Young Mr Lincoln as well, 2 years before Kane, Ford\'s compositions where actors are framed against the ceiling of a room. Don\'t ever believe John Ford when he tells you he was just a workman, doing his business well. He was a poet. This work is pure poetry.
