About this movie

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.

Ratings and reviews

An excellent look into a mining family from boom to bust. Uplifting at times, heartbreaking at other times. Just an excellent film. If you haven't seen it yet, RENT IT NOW! You won't be sorry.

Fantastic Movie, what it meant to be a Welsh coal miner!! If you enjoyed the movie, you owe it to yourself to read the book!!!!

Another Ford Fantastic! Rare to find a great book made into an equally great movie.
