God's Little Acre is a 1958 American comedy-drama film of Erskine Caldwell's 1933 novel of the same name. Directed by Anthony Mann, starring Robert Ryan and Aldo Ray, the film was as controversial as the novel, although unlike its source material it was not subjected to prosecution for obscenity. Philip Yordan was officially given credit for the screenplay, but Ben Maddow claimed he wrote it. Since Maddow was blacklisted for his radical, and suspected but unproven, communist activities during the 1950s Red Scare, working without credit was the only way he could successfully submit screenplays. After decades of neglect, the film was restored by the UCLA Film and Television Archive under the supervision of master restorer Robert Gitt. As part of Gitt's restoration, Yordan's name was removed and replaced by Maddow's in the main titles, although it does not appear on most current releases. April 29th is Anthony Mann's death anniversary.
