Loved it up until the end. They changed the ending to be much more hopeful than the novel. It cuts the story’s power a bit.
Great movie that's difficult to watch due to the subject matter. Henry Fonda is fantastic.
A near-flawless movie with riveting performances by Fonda and Darwell. Ford's vision of Steinbeck's novel is still relevant.
Really well done adaptation of the book with some of Tolands best cinematography- the acting performances we’re powerful to say the least
I watched in American History class. At the time I wasn’t into film but I remember loving it. Great early film about the Great Depression.
A landmark in American Cinema - inferior to the novel by far but far superior in its cinematography, directing and casting to most cinema.
A great film. It highlights the strength, dignity, & resiliency of the poor & downtrodden. This is required viewing for every generation.
We are the grapes of wrath. We never take a bath! There’s no escape from cranky grapes. We are the grapes of wrath!
Cotidiana, lírica y comprometida, una película inolvidable, necesaria y magistral.
Hard to imagine such hard times and a lack of empathy. But extreme times do wild things to people. Can’t blame Tom.
