Famous Author Here
LOSE on the announcement that the 20th Century-Fox film version of Richard Llewellyn’s novel of Welsh mining lite, "How Green Was My Valley,’ has won triple honours in this year’s list of awards by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences is the news that the author himself has visited New Zealand. Under his own name of C. Mostyn, he has been here as wireless operator on a British ship. This, he told those who met him, was his war work. He also told them that "How Green Was My Valley" sold 200,000 copies, was based on his own observation and experience of life in Wales, though the leading character of the crippled boy who acts as narrator of the story was not himself. By the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, " How Green Was My Valley" was chosen as the Best Film of the Year; its director, John Ford, won the Best Director award; and Donald Crisp, who plays the father, was honoured for the Best Male Supporting Role. The film’s release in New Zealand is expected soon.
