The Three Weird Sisters c1947 (Classic Welsh drama) 

It was only one year after this films release that Aneurin Bevan launched the National Health Service.A great Welshman! Working class communities only survived by pulling together and knowing that they could depend on their neighbours to put aside any differences in times of need and do whatever was needed to help. Men would pass the cap round for a new widow,women would help during birth and nursing the sick. Once the industry was shut it was so easy to break up these bonds.

Me too

Oh, right - it was so very kind of that brother of theirs to refuse to rebuild the cottages of the villagers and leave all his money to some twit. Right - good values there.

me too. bet your parent scapegoated you. Siblings become the parents flying monkeys.

​@@joymattson8549😊

"Oh, right - good values to murder your brother for his money." There, I fixed it.

Huh?

LOVE THE ACTORS AND ACTRESSES.

I believe that's Macbeth and he sees the 3 witches in the wood.

​@@howlinhonkyYou are correct! Hamlet saw his father's ghost, "murder most foul" etc.

Climate change is a manmadething by crazy people....on innocent lives , there the ones that get destroyed .....

If only "good conservatives" would remember this when they vote to rollback "red tape" and "needless oversight"... Like they did for the banks when Donnie T. took office, and the EPA....and the Bushs…. MAGA!

two weeks later, this is one of my favorite movies.

You're very welcome

SPOILER ALERT!!!! ----------------------------------------------------- -------------- ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- ----------------- I don't know why, but I kept giving the old bats the benefit of a doubt until the last 15min. :)

You are quite welcome.

Back then??! Have you seen what's been happening in Britain??! The arrogant, grasping Eton set, inherited wealth etc..who have been squeezing the country dry to line the pockets of them and their mates while most people do nothing more than grumble and turn on each other! And look at the royal family!! Giving 'an accident of birth ' a whole new meaning. What a shameful and shameless shower they are at tax payers expense.. when even working people are relying on food banks. It's disgraceful. When the queen died we should have shut the whole sordid lot of them down.. it's the 21st century! Because for some bizarre reason too many people still think how you describe we go on subsidising their exploits while old people can't leave hospital and return to their home because there are no services to look after them, record numbers of young people with mental health problems and no services..it goes on and on...

You're quite right; after viewing, I smiled, laughed, and exclaimed: "Excellent!".

Gayle no nothing Your talking of a time long gone In those days the workers were victims working in unsafe mines , Dreadful homes and for small wages whilst the mine holders ,factory owners got rich on on the back of the poor .Get yourself a book and read history Of Wales

Lok up the film on u tube HOW GREEN WAS My VALLEY amazing film

Gayle. The workers were all victims in those days. Some as young as 10 years of age. Safety was non existent in the workplace. Thousands of miners perished underground while the owners got fat and took to their beds, ridden with gout, from their disgusting excesses. Shame on you for your ignorant, " naiive ", post.

And BTW, Gayle, we'd all still be working under those harsh, inhumane conditions if it weren't for unions, worker's rights, and regulations. All the things the conservatives hate. Enjoy your weekends!

You are quite welcome.

Good movie making

My Favorite Genra: Old British movies and more

Cable? Heck I got rid of my TV several years ago. Never missed it. Glad you enjoyed this old moldy. I thought it was quite quirky and unique.

Yes, I haven't had cable, etc in years as well. I have to say that it's been a huge help to my major depression. Yes, it was quite quirky and unique, just the title alone. Thanks again.

Dogs are more receptive to wisdom than most humans

The actor was the great Hugh Griffith. In personality, he was truly like the characters he played,, so he got hired a lot! Wonderful in "Tom Jones"!

Thank you for remarking about Margaret Rutherford. I LOVE anything she does! Am going to google youtube for her and go on a binge of her work! Can you suggest any other source(s). Best regards, Diana

Go here: free-classic-movies.com/index.php Click on Site Search and enter Margaret Rutherford. You'll be happily surprised. Tons of old movies at Jimbo's site.

Thank you, thank you sooooo much. What a lovely gift from you. Best regards, Diana/Chicago

DIANA, you're so welcome. Don't miss Animal Kingdom. I never enjoyed Leslie Howard till I watched this movie, now I'm in love with him! To Have and To Hold, Pygmalion. The Trespasser is Gloria Swanson's first talking pic and not to be missed. Tons of fun!

And, with winter coming and early darkness, I'm going to really dig in. Your recommendations sound delicious. Yes, Leslie Howard is a little "tricky" to appreciate; maybe he was too wimpy in Gone with the Wind? Maybe your film will put me over top of my hesitation. So long for now, Diana

Go visit her asap. Seriously. Spend time with your relatives/loved one while you can, whenever you can.

PLEASE! Why not base it in current day US? We have entire counties in this nation where people can no longer drink the water from wells their families have used for generations due to fracking. We have at least two entire towns lost to coal fires that have burned for decades.

I thought the brother looked a lot like hitchcock
