Besides that for Best Picture, HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY earned nine other Academy Award nominations and four more statuettes, including one for Best Cinematography. It is one of the most beautifully filmed black-and-white movies I have ever seen. Above is a still featuring Walter Pidgeon and Roddy McDowell as they venture into the hills to welcome spring.  Alfred Newman's Oscar-nominated score contributes significantly to this and several other memorable scenes, as does the authentic Welsh choral music sung by the miners throughout.

A studio publicity still for the film featuring Roddy McDowall and Maureen O'Hara who plays his older sister, Angharad, fallen in love with Mr. Gruyffdd. Though the feelings between them are mutual, Mr. Gruyffdd does not want to marry Angharad because he wishes to protect her from the life of suffering and poverty he must lead. Theirs is one of the silver screen's great unrequited love stories.
