in review the achievement of african american on film in chronological order for black history month and be now at 1940 with the entry of the proud valley and consider by star paul robeson a his favorite . in this one and he an american name david goliah come to wale to find a job . after hear his voice from outside the window while conduct his chorus in rehearsal and mr. parry ( edward chapman ) manage to convince david to sing in his choir and get him a job at the mine where he also work . his son and emlyn ( simon lack ) also work there and be engage to gwen owen ( janet johnson ) . i will stop there and mention that robeson be in fine form musically especially when he sing deep river that send chill down the spine . perhaps because of his color and his character be sometimes in the background but by the end he do become essential . so for him and i would definitely recommend the proud valley .
