15/11/2017 Best Picture Oscar Winners of the 1940s :- "1941 Best Picture – ‘How Green Was My Valley’" John Ford’s touching coming-of-age story in a Welsh mining village is a fine movie from a lovely novel, but history has rightly judged Orson Welles' Citizen Kane as the better movie. A masterpiece of film noir, The Maltese Falcon, also missed the prize, along with the charming biopic Sergeant York; the melodramatic stage hit The Little Foxes; and Hitchcock’s spellbinding Suspicion. Other movies that lost in 1941 were the delightful Here Comes Mr. Jordan, Blossoms in the Dust, Hold Back the Dawn and One Foot in Heaven. How Green Was My Valley (film) 1941. 1. Profile :- Directed by John Ford Produced by Darryl F.
