The Good Earth (1937)
Should I see it?
Yes.
Yes.
Some audience members may have trouble with this film since it has a white actors portraying Chinese characters. The overall film overcomes this racial distraction. Based on the novel by Pearl S. Buck, the film Follows the life of a simple farmer Wang (Paul Muni - who couldn't look less Chinese) who sees his fortunes rise and fall along with his dutiful wife O'Lan (Luise Rainer). While long, the run time is over two hours, the film is well constructed and expertly delivered.
