Excellent movie about the Great Depression, that was created and watched while the Great Depression was still happening. It's a piece of history if nothing else.

It's well made and pretty depressing. Henry Fonda was really good.

Good adaptation of one of my favorite books. To me, it's good but not great, primarily because it waters down the radicalism of the book's political arguments in order (I presume) to appease the censors. Whereas the book locates salvation in the power of collective action, the movie seems to suggest that the promised land is a federal camp and takes great pains to have Tom disavow any "red" talk. I also felt like there was something about the movie that felt very character-specific. That is, the Joads in the book felt allegorical--the family is all families. But here, it felt a bit more like we were watching a character study that was a bit less universal. Still, the power of the narrative comes through and the performances are wonderful across the board.

Interesting from an historical standpoint, but quite boring otherwise. I can understand that this might be worth a higher rating of you’re an American and you looking at the history of your country, but for me? Nope.

Released within a year of the novel, this potent Steinbeck adaptation sees a hard-working Oklahoma family through a bitter eviction, an arduous cross-country relocation and a desperate fight for survival near the crowded California coast. Along the lonesome desert highway, they encounter cruelty and More

Master piece from John Ford picturing the situation in US during the Great Depression and how an Oklahoma family tries to survive looking for jobs to California.

Everything is perfect: director, performances, script, etc.

A must to be watched.
