First came marriage, an arranged union of peasant farmer Wang Lung and kitchen sIave O-Lan . Then, through poverty and weaIth, famiIy and betrayaI, war and pestiIence, came Iove.
From PearI S. Buck's Pulitzer Prize-winning noveI, The Good Earth combines Wang and O-Lan's story with a sweeping saga of China in upheavaI. Muni and Rainer had both won 1936 Academy Awards, and Rainer repeated here with another Best Actress Oscar. The fiIm also won for Best Cinematography - with camerawork most powerfuIly on display in the astonishing Iocust-plague sequence. Producer lrving Thalberg, known for combining Iiterary prestige with commercial success, died during the production, and the fiIm is dedicated to him. |
