CAPITALIST ON COMMUNISM!


Pretty Luise Rainer and great Paul Muni in film 'The Good Earth' (1937).

On current world scenario I remembered this surprising film production! It's classic film 'The Good Earth' (1937)..which is an American drama on Chinese farmers' struggle to survive!
 
German Cinematographer Karl Freund 
of the film 'The Good Earth' (1937).
This film is based on Nobel Prize winning American author Perl Buck's novel of same name. That was adaptated for film by the screenwriters Talbot Jennings, Tess Slesinger (both American) and Claudine West (British). Film was produced by Irving Thalberg & directed by Sidney Franklin..
both Americans. In this famous filmmaker Victor Fleming was also involved! German Karl Freund did the cinematography of it!

In this film great Austro-Hungarian born American actor Paul Muni did main role of Chinese farmer Wang Lung and pretty German-American-British actress Luise Rainer portrayed his wife O-Lan!

In 'Oscar' awards..Luise won 'Best Actress' & Freund got 'Best Cinematographer'!

It's also 125th birth anniversary year of that legendary Paul Muni!

A Tribute!!
