How Green Was My Valley (Studio Classics)

Out Now

Synopsis

Winner of five Academy Awards, this 'inspiring, yet heart-breaking Hollywood milestone' (Halliwells Film Guide) from producer Darryl F. Zanuck and director John Ford is a 'perfection of screen art and one of the finest pictures ever made' (Variety).

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 familys dreams, struggles and triumphs.
