Crack open a beer, grab your remote control and gorge yourself on an extra-large helping of bad behavior, British style. Flatmates Gary and Tony were an inspiration to a generation of British men. No self-help books or caring and sharing for them. In their world, the ’90s were a rude and crude pursuit of good times and sex. But the program inspired a generation of British women as well, proving what they had always known: that inside, all men were really overgrown children whose primary talent was the ability to rearrange their genitals in public.

First came marriage, an arranged union of peasant farmer Wang Lung (Paul Muni) and kitchen slave O-Lan (Luise Rainer). Then, through poverty and wealth, family and betrayal, war and pestilence, came love. From Pearl S. Buck’s Pulitzer 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 powerfully on display in the astonishing locust-plague sequence. Producer Irving Thalberg, known for combining literary prestige with commercial success, died during the production, and the film is dedicated to him.
