American capitalism at some of its ugliest - Zanuck sent a PI to check out whether Steinbeck was exaggerating in his book, only to hear that conditions were actually worse. Some scenes in this movie have that weird Hollywood "uncanny valley" feel, while others are just heartbreakingly spooky, especially the hungry kids swarming the Joads in the tent city.

Tom Joad: "I'll be all around in the dark - I'll be everywhere. Wherever you can look - wherever there's a fight, so hungry people can eat, I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy, I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad. I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready, and when the people are eatin' the stuff they raise and livin' in the houses they build - I'll be there, too."

One of the best American films of the 1940s, John Ford's The Grapes of Wrath is a beautifully potent and effectively romanticized account of Westward expansion that remains as relevant today as it was when first released.

It kind of stifles a lot of radical thought present in Steinbecks novel and of course the ending is completely different. It still works tho, it's just a more optimistic ending. Some excellent work with shadows in the night scenes at camp.

Ford seemed like the ideal director for a film adaptation of Steinbeck's polemic against poverty, and even if the novel is watered down in its translation to the big screen, he starkly evokes the time period populated by salt-of-the-earth characters who desperately struggle to maintain a mere sustenance existence against the odds. Tolland's work is exemplary, capturing the desolate dustbowl setting marked by delapidated dwellings and arid fields in stunning chiaroscuro to ghostly effect.

This film is considered a classic but it does not work for me. There are numerous slow spots in the film. The main character is not very likeable and his actions sometimes make it hard to feel sorry for him. Overall this film is disappointing.
