Editorial Reviews:

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.

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.

Summary: What Makes a Classic Classic
Comment: 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 film because it is a film and not just a "movie". The moral tone and message is not overbearing and the deeply spiritual character of the Welsh people is exempliefied in their "chapel" and their local choir which was the contribution Methodism made to the life of the people of Wales.

Summary: A good film about Welsh culture.
Comment: 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, but the movie itself just isn't the most inspiring the way it is written. It has more promise than it fulfills in the end.
