There is a Welsh Village that has a statue of Paul Robeson for his help in feeding starving striking miners and their families.

My father also was a pitman here in the north - east of England, stargaze pit in Ryton, tyne & wear, then Clara vale pit next to River tyne(that's Stargate pit) his brothers also, and my mams dad, Clara vale pit!!! Films like this and "How green was my valley" really hit you emotionally, ad the old sayin' goes, "They were the salt of the earth" bless them all, 🙏😢

My late Father, my late Brother and myself all worked in the Coal mines here in the UK I left it 1989 I worked at 3033ft bellow ground. The Coal miners I worked with were the best ever, most now sorely missed.

Paul Robson is the best of the best, he has a beautiful velvety voice and word's truly like liquid poetry, what a great channel CCC is, best thing since sliced bread, great rarities like this.

Paul Robeson is my all time favorite American.

robeson is unbelievably good in this.what a magnificent talent.i was riveted watching him.a voice from heaven a physique world heavyweight champs could envy and real star acting abilty.

Thank you so very much for posting this movie, how very hard life was for the all, and they kept sing ,

Paul Robeson actually did help the Welsh miners. There is a 'Blue Plaque' in his honor in London and a statue in Wales. He also spoke against the people that labeled 'The Bevins Boys as cowards during WWII. They were hired to mine Coal as it was desperately needed in a hurry, but the ignorant hounded them for not going to war. So good to see him in a real acting job- TY!

I can't imagine what people would be feeling watching this film in the cinemas of Britain in those dark and desperate times at the beginning of WW2. A good film and thank you for uploading.

My aunt Dilys Thomas is in this film. She plays the little daughter Dilys, all our family have always taken great pride in this. Robson was a total giant both physically and morally. ❤

My granny came from Wales. Lots of Welsh miners migrated to the area around Scranton, Pennsylvania to find work, Polish miners as well. Lots of coal there. My mom turned me on to this movie when I was a kid living in those parts. I saw it on TV when I was seven going on eight. I don't think that there was any notion about political matters in my Mom's recommendation, other than the fact that my mom and pop had just come back from the war against the Axis. The main theme seemed to be connecting the Welsh to singing. Paul was good at that and he was the American connection to it

Great story , awesome acting ! Thank you so much for sharing , love the old classics with a home ,family people back then , hard work and simplicity of things .

My grandad and my uncle were miners in Manchester,always remember grandad saying,them new steel props were more dangerous,he said,least with the wooden ones you could hear them creaking before you had a pit collapse.

Thank you dear CCC for yet another memorable movie! Nice to listen to the sweet Welsh. Great performance of both of the cast and the director!

Thank you! I've been trying to trace a copy of this for years. The "Welsh" accents were a bit creaky and the acting a bit wooden but Robeson's voice like richly spiced honey and the Welsh choir soundtrack makes it well worth it.

A movie with an historical significance. Ernest Bevin, during WW2, was the minister in charge of manpower for that period and many army conscripts were assigned to work in the coal mines for the war effort. They became known as 'Bevin Boys' and remained in the mines well after the end of the war.

Terrific depiction of working "in the deep dark" and all it's tribulations ... Great movie, thanks for the upload 👍👍❤💯💯💯

Much watch movie. No man should ever have to work in a mine.

Robeson had a great voice

Terrific film, love Paul Robeson!

Saudoso Paul Robeson,

Thank you for the movies

فلم رائع شكراًجزيلاً لترجمه للعربيه 👏👏👏👏👏👏

Thanks, CCC for sharing ! 💛

Очень интересный канал, спасибо! 👍❤️❤️❤️

respect has to be given to all that went down the mines. I'm from the North when my family cut slate.. tell me which man went the easiest way???

Such a hard life working as a miner. The toll it takes on the body. I'm claustrophobic and gasping for air (for them) when the cave-in happened. But it was an important job to do nonetheless for the war effort. ❤️

Gracias por eso clásicos del cine de calidad

Anyone else still miss the coal fire 🔥..

Paul Robson was hated bythe fbi and huac because he was a beautiful man with a beautiful soul

Barbara Feldon: It's not the hawks and doves that I'm worried about... it's those cuckoos in Washington that want to make pigeons out of all of us. 😅

👏👏👏👏👏

I want my friends ❤❤❤❤❤

An iconic film but disgustingly disrespectful gambling adverts keep blaring out of nowhere and ruining it. Shameful.
