•me tom is ureen, : sei in
Wales at the turn of the century,
chronicals' an English woman's
gallant struggle to educate youth
ful Welsh coal miners. At the
outset, the arrival of Miss Moffat
(Miss Hepburn) in an impover
ished mining village is met with
wariness by the illiterate towns
people, as well as by those who
have had the benefit of education.
Among the latter are the spinster
Miss Ronberry (Anna Massey) and
Mr. Jones (Artro Morris), a law
clerk.
The initial skepticism, however,
soon leads to deep affection for the
spirited and singularly minded
Miss Moffat. Miss Ronberry and
Jones are quickly recruited as
teachers in Moffat’s makeshift
schoolhouse. And, as more and
more young miners yield to Miss

Katharine Hepburn, under the direction of George Cukor for the tenth
time in her career stars as Miss Moffat in “The Com is Green,"
Moffat’s determination to rid them
of ignorance and free them from
the slavery of the mines, it be
comes apparent that one student,
Morgan Evans (Ian Saynor), is
exceptionally gifted.
Miss Moffat becomes convinced
that Evans' extraordinary intelli
gence should be exposed to a far
higher education. Under her inten
sive tutorage -- and the sponsor
ship of the village squire (Bill
Fraser) -- Evans succeds in com
peting for a scholarship at Oxford.
All efforts, however, appear
threatened by a relationship Evans
had earlier developed with Bessie
(Toyah Wilcox), the daughter of
Mrs. Watty (Patricia Hayes), and
the Moffat housekeeper. Miss
Moffat’s resolution of the alliance
provides the moving conclusion to
the drama.
