Katharine Hepburn gives a bravura performance as a devoted teacher in this remake of the 1945 film based on Emlyn Williams's famed autobiographical stage play. Hepburn plays Miss Moffat, a schoolteacher in a poor Welsh mining town who dedicates herself to helping one of her promising students gain entrance into prestigious Oxford University. When her protégé learns that he's fathered an illegitimate child, Miss Moffat's careful plans--and the boy's future--are thrown into jeopardy. THE CORN IS GREEN, filmed on location in Wales, was Hepburn's second television project with Cukor, following LOVE AMONG THE RUINS, and the ninth film on which the two Hollywood legends worked together. The spark between director and actress--which breathed magic into such Hollywood classics as ADAM'S RIB, THE PHILADELPHIA STORY, and LITTLE WOMEN--is still alive in THE CORN IS GREEN, contributing to a grandeur and emotional depth not commonly found in made-for-television movies.
