About this product

Product Information

In John Ford's HOW GREEN IS MY VALLEY, Huw Morgan, now a middle-aged man leaving the mining town of Cwm Rhondda, recalls the events that most impressed themselves upon his younger self (Roddy McDowall). His first memories are of the marriage of his brother, Ivor (Patric Knowles), and the burgeoning romance of his sister, Angharad (Maureen O'Hara), and the new preacher, Mr. Gruffydd (Walter Pidgeon). Still too young to work in the local coal mine like his father, Gwilym (Donald Crisp), and his five older brothers, he senses the seriousness of an imminent strike by the rift it creates between his father and the other boys when three of them move out of the family abode. During the tensions of the strike, Huw saves his mother (Sara Allgood) from drowning and in so doing loses the use of his legs. As Gruffydd aids in Huw's recovery, insisting on a positive attitude, he suggests that it is only the first of many trials the boy will have to face. Richard Llewellyn's nostalgic novel, with its Fordian themes of family and community, could hardly have found a better director. While the acting and writing are excellent, this is truly Ford's film, one in which his brilliantly chosen groupings and compositions are the most expressive elements. Possibly the most moving film of Ford's career, HOW GREEN IS MY VALLEY received five Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director.

  • Bringing back memeories

    Loved watching this again, brought back lovely memories of sitting with my Dad to watch this as a child. Not every ones cup of tea but I did reminisce a lot, most of my family have gone now, so it's really nice to remember all the good times. The series did portray life as it was back then, the hardships they had to bare, families together unlike today.

  • This series is timeless. It's a social keystone for viewers from every generation.

    This series is unequivocally, much better than the film: and that was good too. The characters are portrayed with warmth, from a historical and post Industrialist standpoint. 'How Green was my Valley', is interesting, funny, engaging and has the best selection of actors ever! Stanley Baker and Sian Phillips dug deep here, the acting is second to none! Despite the fact that Llewelyn changed his name to appear more Welsh, it's still a fabulous portrait of Welsh life from that era: highly recommended.
