barrin' our way to the coal face and safety.

I'll smash a way through!

I'll smash a way through!

Steady, Nick. Steady.

Look, lads. Look.

Here's what we want. Here's cable.

- This will do the job, lads.

- It's just possible.

Whoever fires a shot with that

won't stand a dog's chance.

Well, it'll be short and sweet for one,

and that's better than slow death for us all.

- I'll have a smack at it.

- Well, if it's got to be done, we'll draw lots.

- That's it.

- It's you and me for it, Nick.

They have more dependin' on them

than we have.

Oh, no. We're not having that.

Not likely. We're all in this.

Leave it to me and Nick.

Tip-it.

- So it's up to you, Dave.

- Not yet.

Me and Ned's going to have our chance.

Tip-it.

You lose, son.

Well, it's you and me for the final, Em.

Your call, Dave.

- Now, listen, Em -

- I said, your call.

Tip-it.

- You fellas get back there.

- Listen, my boy-

Get back I say,

and leave this to me.

There isn't much time.

Careful.

I'll place the charge for you.

Thanks, Dave.

Let's say a word for the boy.

Our Father...

we, trapped here

in the depths of the mine...

are asking you to look down

on that boy who is risking his life for us.

In our savior's name...

- amen.

- Amen.

For the last time, Em,

will you listen to me?

- It fell to my lot, I tell you.

- I know.

But there's your mother and Dilys

and the other children.

They must take their chance.

- And there's Gwen.

- For God's sake, shut up!

You're tearing the guts out of me.

Get back to the others.

All right.

Then go!

Well, Em -

All the best, son.

- Is he hurt?

- I can't see a mark on him.

Emlyn, Emlyn.

Where's David?

What's happened?

So he did it after all.

David! David!

Dave.

He's dead.

I am the way and the life.

- Amen.

- Amen.

Come on, son.

We must finish what we set out to do.

You stay with him, Seth.

We must push on to the coal face.

Come on.

Wales, Wales

Home, sweet home is Wales

Till death be passed

My love shall last

My longing

My yearning

For Wales

Home, sweet home is Wales

Till death be passed

Herbert Marshall

Herbert Brough Falcon Marshall (23 May 1890 – 22 January 1966) was an English stage, screen and radio actor who, despite losing a leg during the First World War, starred in many popular and well-regarded Hollywood films in the 1930s and 1940s. After a successful theatrical career in the United Kingdom and North America, he became an in-demand Hollywood leading man, frequently appearing in romantic melodramas and occasional comedies. In his later years, he turned to character acting. The son of actors, Marshall is best remembered for roles in Ernst Lubitsch's Trouble in Paradise (1932), Alfred Hitchcock's Murder! (1930) and Foreign Correspondent (1940), William Wyler's The Letter (1940) and The Little Foxes (1941), Albert Lewin's The Moon and Sixpence (1942), Edmund Goulding's The Razor's Edge (1946), and Kurt Neumann's The Fly (1958). He appeared onscreen with many of the most prominent leading ladies of Hollywood's Golden Age, including Greta Garbo, Marlene Dietrich and Bette Davis. From 1944 to 1952, Marshall starred in his own radio series, The Man Called 'X'. Often praised for the quality of his voice, he made numerous radio guest appearances and hosted several shows. He performed on television as well. The actor, known for his charm, married five times and periodically appeared in gossip columns because of his sometimes turbulent private life. During the Second World War, he worked on the rehabilitation of injured troops, especially aiding amputees like himself. Marshall received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame in 1960. more…
