As far as Steinbeck adaptations go, come here last, no matter how hard it is to say with Tracy and Lemarr headlining.

Spencer Tracy had great success playing a ethnic character in Captains Courageous (1937), and I guess Tortilla Flat (1942) was an attempt to try something similar. And his character was humorous in that mischievous way. Definitely the highlight of the film. The religious tones was done alright as it reforms it's dubious subjects. The rest, the pacing, poorly used supporting cast and so on, wasn't doing the semi-prestigious picture any favors. A little bit disappointing.
