Something like this actually happened in my junior high. A teacher got a little too physical with a boy - which led to the boy's father getting a little too physical with the teacher.
This happened in my grammar school in the 70s. The father came to school and took care of it, and we never heard anything else about it. Unfortunately, i wasn't there.
Yeah, movies today are done for getting subscribers, minds that are f*^ed up with tiktoks and bulls*it 24/7, so they just want to see colors and shapes with some sort of elevator music.
Been there, done that.Over 50 years ago now, but I still have a warm satisfaction from the memory. My son had great welts on his hands because he was having difficulty with multiplication. The teacher was too ashamed to take it further and my son became a computer genius. :) This out take reminded me.
This was a truly beautiful film , A few weeks ago, this film was touching how the mother and son communicated by tapping the roof and floor with a walking stick! #walesforever
Note the grins on the faces of the two boys immediately behind Huw at 1:21, after Dai Bando demonstrates the proper method for throwing a right hand. I'll wager they had dreamed of laying out Mr. Jonas just like that after receiving one of his sadistic canings.
Orson Welles said that there was only one poet of cinema - John Ford. If I had to take one film with me on a deserted island, it probably would be How Green is My Valley. And if I could take just one musical, it wouldn't be Singing in the Rain. I'm tired of the official lists of the greatest this or that. Film is a visual art but such lists blind people to real beauty.
fantastic captures the humour of the welsh and of all the great british isles, and the way the teacher dosen't listern fab. the point is there is always someone better than you bigger than you to bring you down to earth.
Stand out scene from HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY. The cruel teacher, Mr. Jonas, had been hitting the school kid Huw Morgan (Roddy McDowell) with the rod frequently and when these Welshman boxers heard about it they came to class one day and delivered payback. Notice how the boys really took to the demo as they had no doubt suffered from frequent beatings as well.
In the book, it was revealed that Mr. Jonas was Welsh, but ashamed to admit it. He took out his hatred of his own heritage on Huw. After Dai Bando and Cyfartha had their 'discussion' with him, Jonas treated Huw fairly. When Huw completed his studies at the National school, Jonas wished him well.
@@hemming57 Read the book. The movie contracts the time span (Huw would have been as tall as his brothers by the time he finished school) and leaves out Jonas' later interactions and conversations with Huw. Mutual respect followed after Dai Bando's 'corrective measures' brought the abuse/scapegoating to an end.
I had a teacher who pulled my hair. Never told my parents. If a teacher tried to pull hair that belonged to one of my kids, that teacher would be soon scalped. I might spare the fingers, but I'd leave that to the occasion.
Filmed on set in the Santa Monica mountains, California. Rhys Williams, in his first movie, its only Welsh actor. He died 28 years later in 1969, in Santa Monica.
he was actually a boxer, Clint Eastwood loved this film when he seen it. i wish he did a remake of this film, showing what squaller the Welsh were made to live in.
My Grandmother in the early 1900's, was caned in school by her English schoolmaster for speaking Welsh!! Thankfully times have changed! Now they are actively encouraging us to speak our native tongue.
I bet the teacher wasn't English. The Welsh were renowned for teacher training colleges, Bangor, Harlech, Aberystwyth, Lampeter, Carmarthen, Swansea, Cardiff, Caerleon. Welsh teachers went out throughout the British Empire and beyond. If you look on the lists of the county boards of education in Wales you'll notice that the names are overwhelmingly Welsh. Just as Mr Jonas was Welsh abd a Welsh speaker in How Green Was My Valley. It was Welsh teachers and Welsh Boards of Education that created the Welsh Not and caned children for speaking Welsh.
@@nigelsheppard625 Forgive me writing two years after the fact but just saw your post and you are correct; and in the book, it points out that Jonas was Welsh and apparently hated the fact....
He started out as the voice coach, and ended up with best part in the movie. Getting Barry Fitzgerald to talk over his Irish accent was a lost cause, but this scene is not diminished one whit by his portrayal. Rhys Williams was amAZing!
@@Mikey300 Rhys Williams plays Dai Bando. And yes, Williams was the only Welshman in a prominent role in the movie, and the only one who spoke Welsh. There might have been a short phrase or two in Welsh in the otherwise English language film.
I am at this very minute watching this movie on my MOVIE channel. This scene just finished (to my immense satisfaction) and I wondered if it was here on YT. Yeppers!
My late Mother-in Law Ida LLoyd- McDonnell (God Rest Her Soul) was born in Liverpool, England, but raised in Galway, Ireland (Balinasloe) in an orphanage. She spoke many times of a stern schoolmaster Herbert Arthur Weir who would cane her and the other students as he saw fit. He would tell them to hold their palm's out for him to hit, but he wouldn't let you close your eyes. He would make you watch. She referred to him as "A handsome evil bastard."
Dear Sirs This is quite a fantastic film, stylish, elegant and classical, i heard about it when i was a teenager, the truth is that i've been to Cardiff in Wales, recently and i didn't like the city that seemed frankly ugly, i must of spoke of this film in the hotel near the train station, but i don't find they knew it, and it is a shame, as this is a very striking film.

It happened in my school when I was very you the headmaster got in terrible trouble, he beat a class mates, his dad was a sailor was at sea a lot mistake the headmaster made he left marks and second the sailor man was home, maybe one of the most terrifying moments of my life, he pinned him to the wall the sailor was three times his size, he took the cane and broke it across his back, headmaster was taken home, it never happened again, can still hear the shouting decades late, I can concur both men are long dead now.
A wonderful book by Richard Llwellyn based upon life in the old mining village of Gilfach Goch in South Wales...another book worth reading is The Rape Of The Fair Country by Alexanda Cordel
Ahhhh roddy mcdowel..a great child actor...and as for Wales. . Well breakfast over a meths stove At 5 am in the affran forest A stop at Bala or vrynwy Picking quartz in the old workings Ant nests 5 feet tall in forests as black as night... Black Rock or Borth. ..or Dolgellau The wales of long ago.
People say the Joker is the greatest movie villain, but watching this film, I began to change my opinion from the Joker to that Mr Jonas. You see, when I was Huw's age I met a science teacher just as cruel and corrupt as Mr Jonas. [continuing words on the next comment]
@@nigelsheppard625 not even close. Dai Bando is referring to Gwylim Morgan (Huw’s father) who is trapped in the coal mine after the explosion. Reverend Gryffudd: “Who is for Gwylim Morgan and the others?” Dai Bando: “I, for one. He is the blood of my heart. Come, Cyfartha.” Cyfartha: “‘Tis a coward I am-but I will hold your coat.”
@@Mikey300 Nigel may have been referring to the book, in which Dai is referring to Cyfartha when he says that line. They changed it for the film, likely to avoid homosexual overtones. Another change: in the book the "cowardly" Cyfartha is one of the first ones to go down to investigate after the cave-in.
I'm sorry, "How Green Was My Valley", im'ma let you finish, but "Citizen Kane" is one of the best films of ALL TIME! One of the best films of ALL TIME!
This is one of the worst movies ever made. John Ford's idea of Wales is laughable. His pits are on the top of mountains, rather closer to the seams in the valleys. The interiors of the tiny miner's cottages, are spacious and luxurious. All too clean and scenic. Some Welsh folks are tone deaf too!
Picky, picky, picky. The story is moving and the movie is well made. A great many people consider this to be a very fine experience. Sorry you are such a curmudgeon.
@@worrywart1311 it shows how men would go back down the pits to rescue their friends and family and give their lives to save others if need be, but if an explosion happend down a mine the body were like being fired out of a gun barrel, trouble was the girders and any obsticle you came into contact with at hundreds of miles an hour, you where turned into mince meat. i worked down the pits in yorkshire for ten years after leaveing school at sixteen.it was driled into you at training never have matches or any contraband on you or you would get the biggest beating and the sack too. most of the explosions down a pit was caused by the pit owners not spending money on maintainence.
Excellent depiction of wales especially considering only few where welsh actors the house the family lived in was fairly big for that era but they had a big family all bringing in money and i believe the father was a charge hand they were a high status family for that time i'm welsh wales valley born and bred and all my family where coal miners or iron workers and think they done a great job capturing the welsh culture
Good God, absolutely no knowledge of Welsh or how Welsh people speak. This isn't even a close approximation of a South Wales Valleys accent. It's quite embarrassing.
Sigh.....it is like the British cockney accent; audiences unfamiliar with it would have the devil of a time understanding what was being said....get the idea?
I'm welsh born and bred and each region has a different accent this is a very good welsh accent i'd place the accent down carmarthen west wales way bare in mind not everyone back then was born and raised in one particular part of wales they would move about to were the money for picking coal was best
Something like this actually happened in my junior high. A teacher got a little too physical with a boy - which led to the boy's father getting a little too physical with the teacher.
Shit happens.
Play stupid games, win stupid prizes and whatnot.
good
Justice
This happened in my grammar school in the 70s. The father came to school and took care of it, and we never heard anything else about it. Unfortunately, i wasn't there.
This is the most satisfying scene EVER!!!
Pure comedic gold in a film that makes me weep multiple times.
John Ford was one of cinema’s greatest gifts!
Best word to describe this scene: satisfying
These two minutes are better than most full movies.
Yeah, movies today are done for getting subscribers, minds that are f*^ed up with tiktoks and bulls*it 24/7, so they just want to see colors and shapes with some sort of elevator music.
This scene takes just 2 minutes, but it's a Classic. Short and Sweet. Brilliant.
the whole film is brilliant ;)
I never get tired of watching this scene!
I’d forgotten how good this film was. It must be over 40 years since I last saw it. I’m spluttering into my morning coffee watching this scene.
Me too! I love this scene.
Bullying teacher gets knocked out. This is nice.
Been there, done that.Over 50 years ago now, but I still have a warm satisfaction from the memory. My son had great welts on his hands because he was having difficulty with multiplication. The teacher was too ashamed to take it further and my son became a computer genius. :) This out take reminded me.
Dai Bando is an absolute legend!
Daii Bando is a cool name.
God bless John Ford and these actors... how we miss them all!
Yeah, Ford was a total master. No more directos like him.
I'm hooked on this scene. I enjoy watching it again and again. Brilliant.
This was a truly beautiful film , A few weeks ago, this film was touching how the mother and son communicated by tapping the roof and floor with a walking stick! #walesforever
Yeah, even better than Citizen Kane (Ford got the Oscar same year)
Nothing like going to school all dressed up to give the teacher a tune up!
One of my favorite movies...
"No aptitude for knowledge"
No indeed not.
Great scene from a great movie.
"I'm afraid he will never make a boxer..." Ha ha ha LOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
roddy mcdowall was a cute kid and when he grew up he never lost his baby face amazing actor rip
Easily the best and most favorite scene in this most outstanding 5* film.
Note the grins on the faces of the two boys immediately behind Huw at 1:21, after Dai Bando demonstrates the proper method for throwing a right hand. I'll wager they had dreamed of laying out Mr. Jonas just like that after receiving one of his sadistic canings.
Great scene! Mr. Jonas gets a good lesson!
No horizon, but still one of my favorite scenes in cinema history.
When Dai Bando says "Knowledge" you know that Mr. Jonas is going to learn a lesson the hard way!
Orson Welles said that there was only one poet of cinema - John Ford. If I had to take one film with me on a deserted island, it probably would be How Green is My Valley.

He came from clydach near Swansea ,, he was originally hired to make sure the actors sounded welsh ,, as most were either American or Irish ,,

got to watch it again and again and maybe one more time
class pure class we do not make em like that anymore pure brilliance
Have I just witnessed the only Welsh actor in the whole movie?
Dai Bando, is it??
You have witnessed precisely that actor, indeed!
He started out as the voice coach, and ended up with best part in the movie. Getting Barry Fitzgerald to talk over his Irish accent was a lost cause, but this scene is not diminished one whit by his portrayal.

Good man Dai Bando he is! The only man that can teach the art of, "Bitch Slap" and Koo-Kock" in 1 Easy Lesson.
Chuck Norris and Pat Morita would approve
Holy fuck...smacked the shit out of him. That was great.
Brilliant. No more no less

This happened with George Harrison when he was a kid. A teacher hit him and the next day his dad came in to class and punched the teacher!
Great part dai bando giving the bully teacher a good hiding
yeah, sad that doesnt happen anymore

‘Right’ is what he says.

I would be surprised if somebody was not writing out a boyhood fantasy.
Damn, the Welsh accent by the non-Welsh actor is absolutely pitiful lmao
Only Rhys Williams (who played Dai Bando) was Welsh, so only he sounded properly Welsh.
@Robert Aiello that's why I specified the non-Welsh actor. And I am Welsh, and am therefore not affiliated with any Yank political parties.
