The Grapes Of Wrath - John Ford (1940)

Do you think we've got a crisis nowadays?. That was a crisis. The novel had been published only a year before and the great John Ford put it in pictures the way he knew. There's not only one main character, Tom Joad/Henry Fonda, but a bunch of them; remarkable the former preacher Casy/John Carradine and his deep quiet voice always expressing sensible things. A mystery how that wheel didn't break down some place along route sixty six.
