Abstract

In 1941 the 20th Century Fox production How Gr~n Was My Valley beat off opposition from The Maltese Falcon and Citizen Kane and scooped the kitty at the Oscar ceremony. It won five Oscars, three more than the same studio'sThe Grapes of Wrath in the previous year, but one less than MGM's Mrs. Miniver a year later. Both How Green and Grapes of Wrath were produced by Fox's vice-president in charge of production, Darryl F Zanuck.
