A great American film.

Rating: 10/10 (9 July 1999)

Grapes Of Wrath is utterly faithful to John Steinbeck's sad document of Dust Bowl Okies seeking a way to survive. The cast is perfect, the direction the great achievement of John Ford's career, and the photography a work of art. Although Citizen Kane is generally acknowledged to be the greatest of American films, Grapes of Wrath is right up their nipping at its heels. No one who takes film as a serious medium of expression should fail to experience this work.
