Review of The Good Earth (1937) by Grant S — 06 Apr 2016
The Good Earth, thanks in part to its source material, is an emotionally effective historical drama, taking realistic but occasionally unexpected turns throughout the plot, and featuring an especially exciting climax, however the acting is problematic, especially by today's political standards, yet the substance of the script can make up for some of this - even by those same political standards.
It comes down to being a much shorter and simpler alternative to Gone with the Wind, which is not a bad thing by any stretch.
