I'll always remember the scene in that movie where Tom was brutally whipped by that sadistic schoolmaster, taking the punishment that was meant for Becky Thatcher.

Sort of a forerunner to the scene in HOW GREEN WAS MY VALLEY, where Huw is similarly beaten by the schoolmaster.
Surprisingly, the school bully, with whom Huw had previously clashed, proved himself a sympathetic character by having Huw bite on his handkerchief in order to prevent him from screaming, which would please the sadistic SOB.
I guess that the bully received identical punishment in the past.
Soon afterwards, Huw's relatives beat that POS schoolmaster into a bloody pulp!
I say--good!
