Very nice film about the life of miners and the fight against exploitation and with very successful scenes in the mine shafts.

A year later John Ford made a very similar film, "How Green was my Valley", which was a hit, but in my opinion this British "The Stars look down" is hardly inferior.

Good movie in which the son of a miner goes to college to be able to fight for the miners. This movie is at its best when it comes to social drama. The romantic part works a bit less well, despite the fact that the love triangle is worked out quite well (this is mainly because Margaret Lockwood's character is a bit annoying). The flooding in the mine certainly looks good for an 85 year old movie. A small 3.5 stars.
