HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY

Original Belgian 16 inch x 19 1/2 inch Poster for the 1941 John Ford Drama HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY, based on the novel by Richard Llewellyn and starring Walter Pidgeon, Maureen O’Hara, Anna Lee, Donald Crisp, Roddy McDowall, John Loder, Sara Allgood, Barry Fitzgerald, Patric Knowles and Ann Todd.

Huw Morgan (Roddy McDowall), the academically inclined youngest son in a proud family of Welsh coal miners, witnesses the tumultuous events of his young life during a period of rapid social change. At the dawn of the 20th century, a miners’ strike divides the Morgans: the sons demand improvements, and the father (Donald Crisp) doesn’t want to rock the boat. Meanwhile, Huw’s eldest sister, Angharad (Maureen O’Hara), pines for the new village preacher, Mr. Gruffydd (Walter Pidgeon).

The poster is in very good folded condition with a small tear in the bottom edge and slight creasing. As with many vintage Belgian posters the top border has been trimmed off.
