The Proud Valley
London: Ealing Studios, 1940. Vintage reference photograph from a circa 1965 re-release of the 1940 film by Seven Arts Productions (see logo at the bottom right margin), showing actors Paul Robeson, Jack Jones, Simon Lack, and Charles Williams.
An African American miner from West Virginia arrives in a small town in Wales looking for work, and soon wins the respect of the tight-knit mining community therein. Purportedly Robeson's favorite film in which he appeared, far ahead of its time with regards to its treatment of racial harmony and the working class.
Set and shot on location in Wales.
10 x 8 inches. Near Fine.
Criterion Collection 373.
