With a stellar cast that includes Walter Pidgeon, Maureen O’Hara and Roddy McDowall, this tale of a coal mining family’s difficult life during the turn of the century has garnered raves from critics even decades after it’s release: “…one could watch this film with the sound off and understand the story completely, so strong is Ford’s command of visual language.” (Not Coming to a Theatre Near You)
