Definitely a great film and how cool is it that TCM showed this as part of Luise Rainer’s 99th birthday celebration (believe it or not, folks, she’s still alive).

Muni – definitely underrated and under appreciated. I’ve liked every film I’ve seen him in: Angel On My Shoulder, Juarez, Bordertown, Scarface, The Good Earth and especially I Am A Fugitive From A Chain Gang….in fact, I think I’m going to break out my “Fugitive” DVD after submitting this comment.

Thanks again, John, for highlighting these great TCM classics.

John, I really appreciate this aspect of the site. I thoroughly enjoy TCM and am glad you’re bringing these great old films to more notice.

It’s true that Muni and Rainer don’t look particularly Chinese but they’re convincing in their roles. I AM Chinese, and I don’t have any trouble suspending disbelief and buying into their characters. (Of course, there are Chinese actors in the movie too.) And in the book, O-Lan isn’t homely. She’s not a great beauty, but her looks are well enough that Wang Lung is satisfied when he first sees her.

Muni did a great film called “Juarez”,about France’s attempt to take over Mexico in the 1860’s.It had a wonderful cast:Brian Ahearn as Maximilian,Bette Davis as the Empress Carlotta,and Claude Rains as Napoleon III

I’ve only seen Muni in Scarface, and he was very impressive. I’ve read The Good Earth several times, and actually got to hear Buck lecture once.
In the book, O-Lan was homely – very homely, but strong and resourceful.
Wang Lung doesn’t realize her worth till she is dead.

John,

Don’t forget “The Valient” (I’m sure you haven’t), his first biggie and first nomination. And what a voice this cat had, right? Back when guys could do it all and would.

Can you imagine a man so kick ass that WB gave him script approval way back then? What balls of steel. Then he basically forced the studio to make a pic about Louis Pasteur and won the Oscar. Got milk?

Carry on. Your friend, RLC

This is a great film, although it should be pointed out that white people look even less like Asians than they do American Indians.

I love this book, but I have never seen the movie. I’ll have to check it out.
