Description

In 1941, there were a couple of classic films that were released and are currently revered by critics and cinephiles alike.  But the Academy decided to choose a drama about a family in a mining town in Welsh town, focusing on a young boy and his perspective of the events that unfold around him.  This film, directed by John Ford, is a moving story and visually striking.  However, was it deserving of the five Oscars it won, including the Best Picture prize?

Listen to film critic Jack Ferdman's take on it as he analyzes everything about How Green Was My Valley, as well as many other films from that year, and hear which film he gives his Rewatch Oscar of 1941.
