Combustible Celluloid - 8/10 by Jeffrey M. AndersonAs a huge fan of director Anthony Mann, I'm always eager to check out anything he did, but God's Little Acre is something of an oddball curiosity on his resume.
User Review - 10/10 by Haytham KDidn't know anything about this film before watching it but "God's little acre" was a pleasant surprise. Strange that this gem of a movie is totally overlooked and forgotten! It's a GREAT MOVIE!
User Review - 8/10 by Greg WStrange comedy/drama about a man greedy for gold. It has some salacious scenes for its time, including Ginger from Gilligan's Island looking gorgeous and teasing men while she takes a bath outside (really now!). The only time I've ever heard a guy wail and cry "I lost my albino!". Yeah, weird. Also, a badass black man who talks like Boomhauer on King of the Hill who says "Just cuz I'm black don't mean I can sing minstrel tunes!". LOL. (Take into consideration the date, 1958). Good one to catch on TCM sometime if you're into the oldies.
User Review - 6/10 by Stella Drobert ryan has one of his best roles here and it's entertaining in a debauched southern gothic way but it's way too long
User Review - 6/10 by Frances MHeavy and intense, but very well acted. Certainly not a cheery film. Well photographed. The score is quite good, Steamy with dialogue the same. Good southern atmosphere. It is hard to believe how controversial it was in it's time.
User Review - 6/10 by Paul DA gem of a deep-south drama from the 50's where this kind of localised social setting was rarely depicted by the cinema. The colloquial script is pleasurable but demands attention.
User Review - 6/10 by Christopher SAn unusual offering from director Anthony Mann is this offbeat Southern Gothic farce. Great over the top characters - Robert Ryan's Ty Ty, in particular, is easily one of his best roles - and overheated Deep South melodrama brimming with sexual energy. Unfortunately, it's also overlong and awkwardly paced, making it only a minor classic. Great score by Elmer Bernstein.
User Review - 6/10 by Bubba MVery racy for when it was made. Interesting to watch as a piece of history, taking into consideration the motion picture code of the time. It is fun to pick out the ways in which it broke the code, and so on. As a film, however, it falls pretty short. Not terribly interesting at all; the ending couldn't have come soon enough.
User Review - 4/10 by Cecily BSorry to say it, but this one was really bad. There are way too many sub plots that aren't well developed to begin with, and when we only get to follow each character for a short period of time, it becomes even less captivating. Sleeping pill.
