An Original Vintage Theatrical 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still (Learn More)

The Good Earth, the 1937 Sidney Franklin (nominated for the Best Director Academy Award for this film) Asian China family relationship melodrama ("Never again in our lifetime will eyes behold another show on Stage of Screen to equal it! 3 years to produce! It cost a fortune! Two Crowded Hours of sheer enjoyment!"; "At last its thrills are on the screen!"; "Pearl Buck's Best Selling Novel at least yours to see!"; "Based on the novel by Pearl S. Buck"; nominated for the Best Picture Academy Award) starring Paul Muni (as Wang), Luise Rainer (winner of the Best Actress Academy Award for this film; as O-Lan), Walter Connolly, Tilly Losch, Charlie Grapewin, Jessie Ralph, Keye Luke, "and thousands more in the Cast". Note that, as was common in early Hollywood, non-Asian actors were hired to play Asians, and they did this through the use of "yellowface" makeup (similar to "blackface" makeup that had been used for so long). Often, this was in movies that featured "interracial romances" between Asians and westerners, and those who participated in such romances were shunned and often they led to murders or suicides. Of course, in the case of this movie, it is set in China and all the characters are Chinese, so it was not a case of an "interracial" problem, but simply that the studio wanted to cast famous non-Asians. Thankfully, these sorts of movies and the practice of actors performing in "yellowface" has almost completely been abandoned!
