Treasured Earth (Hungarian: Talpalatnyi föld) is a 1948 Hungarian drama film directed by Frigyes Bán and starring Ági Mészáros, Ádám Szirtes and Tibor Molnár. It is based on a novel by Pál Szabó. It is also known by the alternative title The Soil Under Your Feet. István Szőts was originalled intended to be the director, but the film was taken away from him after his Song of the Cornfields was criticised by the country's Communist leadership.[1] It was followed by a sequel The Land Is Ours in 1951. The film was chosen to be part of the Budapest Twelve, a list of Hungarian films considered the best in 1968.[2]
