This is a film based on the Marcia Davenport novel of the same name, set in Pittsburgh, Pennsylvania, USA in the 1870's. It tells the story of a young Irish house maid who falls in love with the son of her employer, a local steel mill owner.
Besides being a romance, the film has messages about social issues surrounding Pittsburgh at that time. The movie stars Greer Garson, Gregory Peck, Donald Crisp, Lionel Barrymore and a very young Jessica Tandy. The film was nominated for two Academy Awards for best actress and best music, this was Garson's fifth consecutive nomination and this record still stands today.
