A man in my Sunday School class introduced
this movie to me. I had never heard of it before, but once he told me about it I started seeing it on various film lists.
The Green Pastures (1936) is the Bible story acted out by African Americans, including
Rex Ingram as De Lawd. It was a product of its time and contains the stereotyping you would expect, but the acting is good and the characterizations are wonderful. Heaven's a picnic!
