I just saw this on PBS a couple of months ago; here's a bit of info for you.... William Wyler, the original director, saw the screen-test of McDowall and chose him for the part. Wyler was replaced later by director John Ford. Ford wanted to shoot the movie in Wales, but events in Europe during World War II made this impossible. Instead, he built a replica of the mining town at the nearly 3,000-acre (12 km2) Fox Ranch in Malibu Canyon.[2]William Wyler, the original director, saw the screen-test of McDowall and chose him for the part.
