Rating: - Excellent classic movie
We very much enjoyed this movie. Gregory Peck is a strong actor in this movie, as he was in his other movies. It follows the family business via the one adult child in the family actively involved. Highly recommend.
Rating: - looking desperately for the DVD of this film in French language
Hello everybody,
I post this message here for my mother who is French and does not speak and understand English. She saw when She was younger "the valley of decision" at the cinema in France and read the French version of the book. In France this film is no more published! In America there is the video tape in English, for when studios will publish a dvd version of this film also in French
if someone can help me! thanks
Rating: - Where's the DVD?
With all the boxed sets being produced by the studios, where is a Greer Garson set with Valley of Decision, Mrs. Parkington, Pride and Prejudice, Madame Curie, Blossoms in the Dust and That Forsythe Woman. I own the Garson DVD's already released--when will these others of an actress of such magnitude be available on DVD?
Rating: - A fantastic love story!
This is a romantic but interesting story for those who like films about the Irish in America and the injustices of the industrial revolution. It also shows how true love is a meeting of souls which can overcome all ethnic and class barriers. Greer Garson is enchanting as the Irish housemaid and one can see how the Scott family quickly become enthralled with her, especially the oldest son, played by Gregory Peck. It captures the sorrow of a daughter cursed by a father who is destroyed by hatred and how that curse squeezes her ability to give herself to the man she loves. Contrary to political correctness, the wealthy Mr and Mrs Scott are more compassionate human beings than the poor Mr Rafferty. I could watch this film over and over again; it is worth owning!
Rating: - Stellar cast rates 5 stars.
The Valley Of Decision is one of those sprawling, episodic, all-star novel-based dramas that were done so well in the 1940s, like How Green Was My Valley, I Remember Mama, Adam Had Four Sons, A Tree Grows In Brooklyn, Keys Of The Kingdom, etc. As in those films, the excellent performances of almost every actor enhances the dramatic impact of the film. It's about the daughter (Greer Garson) of a disabled, embittered steal mill worker (Lionel Barrymore) who goes to work as a maid for her father's ex-boss, Donald Crisp (A Dog Of Flanders, How Green Was My Valley) the owner of the Scott Steal Mill. While employed at the big house, she falls in love with one of his sons (Gregory Peck). After years of working up to it, it looks like they'll finally end up married - until a violent labor dispute involving the two fathers drives a wedge between the families.
Of course Crisp and Barrymore are perfect in their roles, as well as Garson and Peck, but the whole film rises another notch due to the cast surrounding them, including Dan Duryea (Ball Of Fire, Flight Of The Phoenix), Marsha Hunt (The Human Comedy, Chloe's Prayer), Marshall Thompson (The Basketball Fix, Daktari), Galdys Cooper (The Bishop's Wife, The Secret Garden, Etc.), Dean Stockwell (Down To The Sea In Ships, Quantum Leap), Preston Foster (Ramrod, Tomahawk, etc.), Reginald Owen (Kim, Five Weeks In A Balloon, Mary Poppins, etc.), Jessica Tandy (The Birds, Batteries Not Included), and Arthur Shields (who was Barry Fitzgerald's brother), and others. It's primarily because of the cast that I give The Valley Of Decision 5 stars.
