Title: Geneon's print is widescreen
Review: 'God's Little Acre' is a likeable Southern-gothic Depression-era drama, full of eccentric characterizations and occasional over-emoting (not unsuitable to the genre) from a melting pot of recognizable actors, all brought vividly to life by one of the most interesting directors of his time, Anthony Mann ('Raw Deal,' 'Winchester 73,' 'El Cid'). Note, though, if you're on the fence about picking up Geneon's bare-bones 2005 release, that Amazon's reporting of a 1.33:1 framing is inaccurate; the print appears to be the same in terms of picture quality (from the UCLA Film and Television Archive), running time (118 mins.) and aspect ratio (1.85:1) as Image's 2001 version (also currently out of print but much pricier). 4 stars each for content and presentation.
