Review of The Good Earth (1937) by Robert P — 27 Mar 2008
Epic agrarian saga set againstteh backdrop of famine and revolution in turn of the century China. Considering the time it was made, both technically and politically this film is some achievement. Themes like land ownership and use, community versus family and man versus nature all crop up.
Less interesting when the two stars entre the Great House and move away from nature where things meandre somewhat.
