What happens

The Corn Is Green is a 1945 American drama film starring Bette Davis as a schoolteacher determined to bring education to a Welsh coal mining town despite great opposition. It was adapted from the 1938 play of the same name by Emlyn Williams, which originally starred Ethel Barrymore. John Dall and Joan Lorring were nominated for the Oscar for Best Supporting Actor and Best Supporting Actress, respectively. In 1979, the play was adapted once again, for the made-for-television film The Corn Is Green starring Katharine Hepburn. (from Wikipedia, CC BY-SA)
