"A heartfelt drama about a close-knit family of Welsh coal miners. Based on the novel by Richard Llewellyn, the film focuses its eventful story on 10 years old Huw, youngest of seven children to Mr. and Mrs. Morgan, a hardy couple who've seen the best and worst of times in their South Wales mining town. They're facing one of the worst times as Mr. Morgan refuses to join a miners union whose members have begun a long-term strike. Family tensions grow and Huw must learn many of life's harsher lessons under the tutelage of the local preacher who has fallen in love with Huw's sister. As various crises are confronted and devastating losses endured, How Green was My Valley unfolds as a rich, moving portrait of family strength and integrity.

Starring: Walter Pidgeon and Maureen O'Hara. Directed by John Ford.
