REVIEWING MOVIES OF THE MONTH
A reliable guide to recent pictures. One check means good; two checks, outstanding
A film to remember: Maureen O'Hara, Walter Pidgeon in "How Green Was My Valley"
Drama plus beauty: Loretta Young and Dean Jagger in "The Men In Her Life"
^ How Green Was My Valley (20th Century-Fox)
It's About: The story of a boy's life in a Welsh mining town.
HERE is something we can shout about, weep over, love forever and forget never.
John Ford has won himself a star, if not an Oscar, for his beautiful direction of a story narrated by a man who tells of his boyhood in a little Welsh coal-mining town.
Poignantly tender, at times sonorously deafening in its emotional thunder, it never once gets out of tone, out of harmony, out of atmosphere.
Marching through the tale is the father, Donald Crisp, and the mother, Sara Allgood, with their brood of boys, among them Patric Knowles, John Loder and little Huw, played by Roddy McDowall with unbelievable understanding. Maureen O'Hara is the beautiful daughter.
Walter Pidgeon, as Mr. Gruffydd, the preacher, gives his best performance to date. In fact, it is impossible for us to find a single flaw in this spellbinding picture.
Your Reviewer Says: An Academy Award Contender.

It's About: The loves in the life of a famous ballerina.
LORETTA YOUNG attempts to carry on her frail shoulders the burden of a dated story that carries no other name so strong as her own. She does nobly with the story material at hand and is aided by some strong masculine support. Conrad Veidt is marvelous as the retired dancer who takes the raw but ambitious young Loretta in hand and makes of her a worldfamous ballerina. In gratitude Loretta marries him when he confesses his love, renouncing the man of her own heart. John Shepperd.
Young Mr. Shepperd is a handsome newcomer, radiating the kind of appeal that women respond to. Dean Jagger. as a staid American millionaire and father of Loretta 's baby, seems uneasy in his role. Little Ann Todd, as the child, is wide-eyed with the wonder of it all. Eugenie Leontovich and Otto Kruger are outstanding in their roles. It's an odd. out-ofthe-way film, with drama and beauty that cannot be ignored.
