Based on the best-selling Gladys Hasty Carroll novel of the same name, As the Earth Turns covers four seasons in the life of a Maine farming family. Jean Muir stars as Jen Shaw, daughter of dirt-poor farmers Mark and Min Shaw (David Landau, Dorothy Appleby). Jen's parents have an abiding distrust for their new neighbors, the Jankowskis -- not only because they're first-generation Poles, but also because they used to live in faraway Boston. (allrovi.com)

An adaptation of a popular novel about 3 farm families in Maine. There's a lot of plot and characters stuffed into a running time of just over an hour and that's the real problem. The performances are uniformly good, but not enough time is given to develop characters and the plot leaps around in a fairly disjointed manner. This is apparently Shirley Temple's last unaccredited appearance in a film.

Stuck in the country! We follow two families out in Maine farmland, living simple and working hard to try and survive. Some are happy with that life. Others want desperately to get away. It's a fine drama, but doesn't have all that much going on and easily become a drowsy viewing experience. One for those that like a easy, slightly depressing picture.
