Message: [QUOTE="huskyrob1, post: 2309377, member: 1226"] One thing that can make a great film is a great and memorable performance by a child actor, and Roddy McDowell's performance and his characters narration of the film has to be near the top, along with Brandon Dewilde in Shane, all the Sound of Music child actors, Mary Badham as "Scout" in To Kill A Mockingbird (her character also narrates that film), and Alfred Lutter playing the son and Jodie Foster as his friend in Alice Doesn't Live Here Anymore, but McDowell's performance in HGWMV was special. Not sure if you're aware but How Green Was My Valley upset the heavily favored Citizen Kane at the 1941 Oscars and made off with many of the major awards. [/QUOTE]
