The Corn Is Green
Capsule by Dave Kehr
From the Chicago Reader
Bette Davis encrusted in old-age makeup as a noble English schoolteacher assigned to a hopelessly poor mining village in Wales; she sacrifices everything she has (including her reputation) to give her most brilliant student (John Dall, later of Hitchcock's Rope) some chance of fulfilling his promise. Irving Rapper (Now, Voyager) directed, from a celebrated stage piece by Emlyn Williams; with Joan Loring, Nigel Bruce, Arthur Shields, and Mildred Dunnock (1945, 114 min.).
