"You gotta git your minds fixed," the rural preacher tells Sunday School children. And the best way to do that fixin' 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 100,000 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 its time. But like all great art, it transcends it.

Last time I viewed this movie I was a small child and have not seen it since...it has been in the back of my mind for years...it's been over 50 years since I saw it but it left a lasting impression with me that I could not forget it...most people I've encountered have never heard or seen this movie...I'm so please to know that it can be acquired so I may add it to my movie collection...it will certainly become a late nite watch for me so as I do not want any disturbance while I stroll back down memory lane

Something's I don't agree with but if you know your bible its easy to understand. Love this movie

Made waaaaay before I came into existence, this movie is a fantastic adaptation of heaven's existence with an all black cast. Love this movie.
