Some critics feel that it is a schmaltzfest. While that may be true, I think it does a good job of showing how many towns survived because of mines, and how the local economy was dependent on the mine. There are parallels in West Virgina and Pittsburgh. Without knowing first, would you have guessed that John Ford directed? And did Roddy McDowell change at all in his adult life? He looks the same. All in all, a very pleasant, thought provoking, and yes, emotional film.
