Roddy McDowall, Walter Pidgeon, Maureen O’Hara, Donald Crisp and Sara Allgood all repeat their film performances – there was little point McDowall did, since most of his acting in this is done by grown up voice over (someone who sounds like Pidgeon which gets confusing). A series of episodes – not one but two deaths of miners, the tortured romance between O’Hara and Pidgeon (he won’t marry her, she marries someone else and gets divorced by everyone thinks they hook up anyway), McDowall loses the use of his legs, a union is established, McDowall faces a bully. Done with conviction and sincerity but really better suited for longer than an hour.
