Trivia:
A 1967 re-release attempted to appeal to the new generation by playing up the sex in the advertisements. The '67 poster featured the drawing of a topless woman underneath a bare-chested man on a bed, as well as a topless (but chaste) photo of co-star Fay Spain that was definitely not in the picture itself! For this re-release, Tina Louise was given top-billing and Michael Landon went from tenth billing in 1958 to second billing this time.

God's Little Acre. What a great title. A man gives God his acre on a dirt farm where acres of land that are made of dirt and little else. God's Acre is surrounded by the lust of men and women for things they can never have. This movie doesn't ask the viewer to believe it is nothing
more than a parable. You just can't take the movie as a real life. But it is about real feelings of people. And that makes a movie. It has one of the great casts of any movie. Most of them are in their prime. Even Buddy Hackett maybe one of the least characters was great. You watch this movie and wonder what in the hell happen to him. He must have peaked early. And their characters are just so full of them selves they seem just wanting to bust out of their clothes. God's little acre is moved around as the plot moves around. And the plot seems to be based on the whims of the characters and not the writer. But God's Little Acre always sets on the raw dirt of earth in the warmth of the day and the cool of the night it is there the fortune lies. Not in the gold but raw emotion of mankind.
