The Corn Is Green Movie Review

Cast & Crew

Director : Irving Rapper

Producer : Jack Chertok

Screenwriter : Frank Cavett, Casey Robinson

Starring : Bette Davis, Nigel Bruce, Rhys Williams, Rosalind Ivan, Mildred Dunnock, Arthur Shields, Gwyneth Hughes, Billy Roy, Thomas Louden, John Dall, Joan Lorring

Bette Davis stars as an uptight schoolmarm in 1895 Wales, where she decides to spend her own money to get the boys out of the coalmines and into her classroom. When a surprisingly gifted young man (John Dall, Rope) emerges, Davis urges him to apply for full scholarship at Oxford. Think an illegitimate baby will stop this kid!? No chance!

Mostly bland with flashes of brightness.
