Synopsis

Winner of five Academy Awards®, this inspiring, yet heart-breaking "Hollywood milestone" (Halliwell's 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 family's dreams, struggles and triumphs.

Trivia

The film was shot in black and white because the colour of the flowers in Southern California did not match those found in Wales.

Darryl F. Zanuck originally intended the film to be a four-hour epic to rival Gone with the Wind (1939).

It only took two months to make the film.
