From Amazon.com

"Hard to believe that Erskine Caldwell's God's Little Acre was, for years, the bestselling novel ever published. This 1958 film adaptation gives little reason for that status, being a curiously inert combination of sweaty Southern passion and rustic comedy. Thanks to director Anthony Mann's exacting eye for outdoor photography, the film is a pleasure to look at, and Elmer Bernstein's score makes it swell to listen to. Robert Ryan, always good at obsessives, plays a patriarch convinced gold is buried on his farm. He's aided by a gallery of future TV stars: Tina Louise (Gilligan's Island) as the lip-lickin' sexpot every living male tries to seduce; Jack Lord and Vic Morrow as her husband and brother; Buddy Hackett as a would-be politician; Michael Landon as an albino (thus giving new meaning to the term "white trash"). This gumbo has some fun flavors, but they don't quite blend." --Robert Horton
 
Tonight I'll be re-seeing this, but this time on Blu-ray.

* This is a very "SPECIAL" flick to me (personal/emotional level).
...And I need nobody to tell me if I should like it or not, because I do like it a lot. :)
And on Blu-ray at my own mansion, in my own comfort's zone, it's going to lift the foundations of this planet in which we all live and called Earth!

* Interesting; I was watching this Great Classic Western last night when suddenly (near the mid-point), we lost power here in my area.
...So I went outside, at night, and lighted a smoke. ...I was in a field of darkness illuminated by the moon, no man-made lights, and only the noise from the horses' tails across the field. ...Finished my smoke and the power came back just as I entered my palace. :cool:
...Then I simply proceeded to pursue the second half of that great movie.

At no point I panicked or was upset; to the contrary, I was perfectly and comfortably numb during the entire evening. ...Power and no power.

* True, the thought did cross my mind; "can us North Americans live without power (electricity, computers, TVs, audio sound systems, etc.)"?
Of course we can; it's only a question of adaptation, which is one of man's attribute.
 
Amazingly last night I re-watched this ::

* I feel like falling in love again for the first time. :cool: :heart: :exciting:

P.S. The only way to fully comprehend what I just said above is to watch the film; and more than once. :)

Agree, you have to watch it more than once.
