A Good Decision to Watch this Valley ****

The Valley Of Decision  Greer Garson, with a terrific Irish brogue, earned still another Oscar nomination. With the exception of 1940, Miss Garson was nominated for best actress from 1939-1945, a Hollywood record. The film depicts the old problem of wealth vs. poverty. A pretty and pert Greer goes to work for the family of Gregory Peck. They are lovely, unpretentious people. Her dad, played by the irascible Lionel Barrymore, is a hot head if ever there were. His hot-headedness will ultimately lead to his downfall as the film goes on. We see wealth and snobbery associated with it, especially by Peck’s wife, brilliantly played by a young Jessica Tandy. In a change of pace, veteran movie mother, Gladys Cooper, comes off as a wonderfully, kind sort of matriarch married to the indomitable Donald Crisp. The ending is great. All I can say is that fairness triumphs over snobbery. Class distinctions just seem to go away.

An forgotten classic!

When one thinks of Greer Garson, movies like “Mrs. Miniver” or “Pride and Prejudice” come to mind. And when one thinks of Gregory Peck, movies like “To Kill a Mockingbird” or “Gentleman’s Agreement” come to mind. However, both of these terrific actors are fantastic in “The Valley of Decision,” which I consider to be one of the forgotten classics of the 1940’s. It was deservingly nominated for two Academy Awards, including a Best Actress nomination for Greer Garson. I believe she gives one of her most touching, heartfelt performances as Mary Rafferty. This movie is a must-see for all movie fans. I give it an enthusiastic 10 out of 10!
