Handlung
WUSSTEST DU SCHON:
- WissenswertesThe world's first snowmaking machine was invented for the snow seen at the beginning of the movie. The invention, by Warner Bros technical director Louis Geib, consisted of three rotating blades that shaved ice from a 400 pound block, and a high power fan that blew the resulting particles into the air. The invention spurred the development of more sophisticated machines that went on to be used at ski resorts around the world.
- PatzerThe sign on the train station misspells the town of Ogunquit, Maine as "Ogonquit".
- Zitate
Stan Janowski: Strange when you think how falling in love spoils people's lives sometimes.
- Crazy CreditsThe credits are presented in a leather book, and a male hand turns each page.

Ausgewählte Rezension
Very early soap-opera about cold-country farming and folks trying to deal with it
Not exciting, not engrossing, but still interesting for its clear-cut characters involved in daily life.
That life is being lived, or at least survived, in the frozen wastes of Maine ... and in fact the very first scene is snowy wintertime, with a temperature of 12 below zero.
To those of us used to sunnier climes, perhaps it is a puzzle just why anyone would want to be in any place that suffered through those kinds of winters; and that anyone could enjoy such winters is, honestly, beyond me, and I spent some three winters in North (brrrrr) Dakota.
Even more puzzling to us erstwhile desert-dwellers is that anyone could actually FARM such an environment.
In truth, though, that is part of what makes this movie as interesting as it is.
There really is a ring of truth: So many of the people do not, in fact, want to be farmers in snowy Maine, and that is the basis of some of the conflict that makes up this drama.
Most of the players are almost unknown today, although IMDb listing shows Shirley Temple in an unbilled bit. I didn't see her, but I'll look harder next time.
Despite their lack of fame, they show acting ability, and are nearly all thoroughly believable in this worthwhile film.
Last I heard, "As the Earth Turns" is available on YouTube, but for some reason in two parts and you will have to search for both. I hope you do.
