First came marriage, an arranged union of peasant farmer Wang Lung and kitchen slave O-Lan . Then, through poverty and wealth, family and betrayal, war and pestilence, came love.
From Pearl S. Buck's PuIitzer Prize-winning novel, The Good Earth combines Wang and O-Lan's story with a sweeping saga of China in upheaval. Muni and Rainer had both won 1936 Academy Awards, and Rainer repeated here with another Best Actress Oscar. The film also won for Best Cinematography - with camerawork most powerfuIly on display in the astonishing Iocust-plague sequence. Producer lrving Thalberg, known for combining literary prestige with commerciaI success, died during the production, and the fiIm is dedicated to him. |
