highly recommended

This remarkable film version of Steinbeck?s novel was nominated for seven Academy Awards®, including for Best Picture, Actor (Henry Fonda), Film Editing, Sound and Writing. John Ford won the Best Director Oscar® and actress Jane Darwell won Best Actress for her portrayal of Ma Joad, the matriarch of the struggling migrant farmer family. Following a prison term he served for manslaughter, Tom Joad returns to find his family homestead overwhelmed by weather and the greed of the banking industry. With little work potential on the horizon of the Oklahoma dust bowls, the entire family packs up and heads for the promised land ? California. But the arduous trip and harsh living conditions they encounter offer little hope, and family unity proves as daunting a challenge as any other they face.

Wonderful classic

This is a wonderful old classic. I am proud to add this to my collection of DVD's. The product came in excellent condition, and in a timely manner. Thank you

Hard Times

My father was born in Oklahoma in 1923 . His family left Oklahoma during the dust bowl for Arizona . This was his favorite movie as it reminded him of his childhood . I've watched this movie several times with my dad and its an all time classic of Henry Fonda's .

Just a Great Movie!

I love this movie and have to admit I enjoy it more than the book. The book is about too preachy for me, but the movie focuses on the story and clarifies it. An amazing achievement for all involved and Henry Fonda probably had his greatest performance in this picture. John Ford, Gregg Toland and others involved with this picture did a fine job. Jane Darwell gives a wonderful performance as Ma Joad. A classic.

The Grapes of Wrath

While I loved the book madly, I simply liked the film version of it very much. I guess my only complaint, if I had to list one in order to justify not giving it five stars, is that it was made in 1940. The actors are good; the story is great. If you like classic movies--like I do--you'll really like this one. It's better than most of the classics I've seen. But I can also sympathize with those people who find that the older movies put them to sleep. If that's the case with you, you probably won't enjoy this one, either.

Simple review..

Lets keep it simple...shall we...
Movie is not as good as the book...but it is good...most movies are not as good as the book.
