Rating: 3.5/5 --
A well-mounted piece of filmmaking, with Reed drawing good performances from a talented cast and handling most scenes, particularly the nail-biting tragic/predictable climax, well.

Eye for Film
Some two decades before the Kitchen Sink cinema of the British New Wave, Carol Reed made this serious, committed film about life in a northern mining community.

[An] utterly compelling mix of social realism and highly crafted cinematic art.

Rating: 4/4 --
At once topical and enduring, this powerful drama influenced by the social realism of the British documentary greatly enhanced the growing reputation of Reed, then a young director.

Product Description:
This powerful depiction of life in a depression-era Welsh mining town features Michael Redgrave as Davey Fenwick, the idealistic son of a collier, who aspires to improve the lives of the local miners by fighting for reform in their treacherous workplace. But his efforts are hampered by the machinations of a cunning former friend, Joe Gowlan (Emlyn Williams), and the indifference of a callous, grasping wife, Jenny Sunley (Margaret Lockwood), who help to provoke an explosive conclusion that none had foreseen.
