Henry Fonda, Jane Darwell, (1940) Poor sharecroppers the Joads leave dust bowl Oklahoma in hope of better luck in California. Based on the book by John Steinbeck.
Unlike "Of Mice and Men", this movie is only based on John Steinbeck's work once.
And apparently Ma Joad is prone to beating salesmen with live chickens. So, don't try to sell Henry Fonda anything, or he might set his mother after you.
Also, Grandpa Joad is the most fantastic character ever. Amazingly crotchety old man. Sadly he's now an old crotchety old dead man. I'm sad...
Not a bad movie. I guess they knew how to make movies back in the day.
I should probably read the book. Its one of Steinbeck's works that I haven't read yet.
