Trivia
The scene in which Katharine Hepburn's character is riding up a hill on a bicycle was intended to be shot with a stunt double, but Hepburn insisted on doing it herself. After she fell off the bicycle several times, she overheard a crew member say, "God, she got old." She approached him, said, "You're right. I have", signaled for the stunt double to take over, and went back to her hotel.

I wish I hadn't waited so long to see this.

I usually hate remakes...particularly of movies that were well done in the first place. This is why I resisted watching the 1979 version of "The Corn is Green" for many years. After all, the Bette Davis version is terrific. However, in hindsight, I am thrilled I saw both films...and both are about equally exceptional.

Lilly Moffat (Hepburn) has just inherited her uncle's home in rural Wales. After witnessing the hard life of a typical resident, she feels a burning passion to educate these illiterate folk. So, she turns her home into a school and soon kids come flooding to the school. However, she soon meets an adult who, despite no formal schooling, shows lots of promise.

The rest of the story is about their relationship and her drive to get Morgan to strive for something more out of life.

The acting is THE major reason to see this film. Like Bette Davis, Hepburn is a treasure to watch and the lovely Welsh countryside (something not in the original film) is a major plus. Well worth seeing and a truly unique story that is really something special.
