Of course, the young mine owner is an arrogant person, but even an arrogant person should take care of his own face. This approach can only make others look down on him.

Originally wanted to give four stars, but this plot made me only give three stars!

How Green Was My Valley quotes

  • Beth Morgan: Nothing is enough for people who have minds like cesspools. Oh Huw, my little one, I hope when you're grown their tongues will be slower to hurt.

  • Mr. Gruffydd: Huw, I thought when I was a young man that I would conquer the world with truth. I thought I would lead an army greater than Alexander ever dreamed of, not to conquer nations, but to liberate mankind. With truth. With the golden sound of the Word. But only a few of them heard. Only a few of you understood.
