How Green Was My Valley

I've seen it about 4 times bc a family member loves it...An old family member.

There's nothing really good or unique or interesting about it...Compared to rebolutionary Citizen Kane.

Valley feels and looks like how Hollywood filmed movies originally coming from stage plays. Fixed tripod shots from afar, all characters jammed into a tiny room so they all fit into the frame, yapping away incessantly very loudly just like a stage play.

I use that movie as an example of how far we've come. GWTW doesn't feel that dated nor of course Citizen Kane.

Valley looks and sounds like it could have been Rudolph Valentino's last picture.
