The film received two Academy Award nominations. Exteriors for the film were shot in Calabasas north of Los Angeles and in Los Angeles' Chinatown district. During filming Buck visited the set of "Dragon Seed" and gave her approval to the production. Although some critics consider "Dragon Seed" a sequel to "The Good Earth" its characters and story line are unrelated to the earlier film. Many Asian actors who appeared in "Dragon Seed" also appeared in "The Good Earth."</p>‎
