PM 093 CHINA The Good Earth, Crouching Tiger Hidden Dragon, Hollywood goes Chin.

Larry Dean/R-VCR

The Good Earth was one of the first films that my uncle-in-the-biz worked on. Produced by MGM studios, it was a grand classic interpretation of the Pearl S. Buck novel of traditional pre-WWII life, with considerable footage shot on location in China (pre-communist when such things could be done there). Use this authentic music for your next ethnic Chinese spectacular.
