The Green Pastures on DVD

You got to get your minds fixed the rural preacher tells Sunday School children. And the best way to do that fixing is from Old Testament stories narrated by the preacher played by a black cast backed by the joyful gospel sounds of the Hall Johnson Choir and based on Marc Connelly's folk-themed Pulitzer Prize-winning play. Rex Ingram portrays de Lawd who has a 100000 things to do before any human's next breath - like instructing Noah (Eddie Anderson); taking counsel with Abraham Isaac and Jacob; or teaching Moses tricks to dazzle Pharaoh. Get your mind fixed for the Green Pastures. It's a film of it's time. But like all great art it transcends it.
