Description

The Green Pastures (Warner Brothers, 1936). Lobby Card (11" X 14").
Based on the short stories collected in Ol' Man Adam and His Chillun, by Roark Bradford, this movie presents well-known Bible stories through the eyes of a young black child in the Depression-era South, who interprets the stories based on her own perspective. A controversial film at the time of its release - it was seen as "blasphemous" in some countries - the movie, with an all-black cast, was, nevertheless, well-received by critics and the general public alike. The movie stars such notable performers as Rex Ingram as De Lawd, Eddie "Rochester" Anderson as Noah, and Oscar Polk as Gabriel. This rare and glorious linen finish lobby card had some slight surface paper loss in the top right corner, bends in the top left and top right corners, and pinholes in the corners, but expert professional restoration has rendered these slight flaws virtually invisible. Fine/Very Fine.
