Synopsis: [?] [From The Moving Picture World]? This picture will be thoroughly enjoyed by everyone, but particularly those to whom rural life appeals. The wide wheat fields are shown with the Hungarian peasants at work gathering the grain and threshing the golden harvest. In Hungary the women work in the fields with the men and the quaint costumes add a picturesque touch to the beautiful scene.
Reviews: [The Moving Picture World, 8 January 1910, pages 16-17] One of this firm’s attractive industrial releases, breathing the very spirit of rural life. The magnificent stretches of wheat, the peasants at work, the operation of threshing, and all features which go to make country life picturesque and practical are clearly represented. While the film is entertaining it is also educational and will give a good idea of the appearance of the agricultural districts of Hungary.
