Beautiful performances by Donald Crisp, Sara Allgood, Roddy McDowall and Barry Fitzgerald produce the maximum impact, especially in the climactic scenes.
The Welsh village set, designed by Nathan Juran and Richard Day, is one of the best ever constructed in Hollywood, and turned up in several other films in subsequent years.
Juran and Day deservedly took one of the production's five Oscars, which also included awards for Best Film (against strong competition) and Best Director.
