In this beloved classic, a sixty-year-old looks back on his life as a boy (Roddy McDowall) during the turn of the last century in a small Welsh coal-mining town. As he recalls family dreams, struggles and triumphs, he also remembers the changes to the labor force brought on by industrialization in this acclaimed story that also stars Donald Crisp, Sara Allgood, Maureen OHara and Walter Pidgeon.
