The Proud Valley (1940)

Sadly, our five film examination of the legendary Paul Robeson for this month’s theme of PORTRAITS OF THE ARTISTS end here. But we go out on Paul’s personal pick for his favorite looking back on his unique career. We’re talking about the struggle and heroisms of miners in Wales and the singing stranger that came along to make their choir better and soothe the struggle. We’re talking about the 1940 British film “THE PROUD VALLEY” starring Paul Robeson as “David Goliath” and co-starring Edward Chapman, Edward Rigby and Simon Lack. Them Welsh boys got it rough and shit might have to get….ORGANIZED! Well, London needs that coal to fight Hitler so can the Cymry posse and their new baritone buddy safely get these mines going? Hear us tell of it or just watch it here first: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UyNWpRY5lH8 RIP to the man, Paul Robeson, a man beyond his time at any time.
