Talk:The Grapes of Wrath (film)

message: I have reversed the inclusion of criticism of film by George W. Bush for the following reasons: It appears the information came from tabloid-journalist Kitty Kelley, a highly dubious source.  Second, even if the information is true the info is at best "fan facts" or "trivia."  As it's said: film articles on Wikepedia is not a collection of fan facts.  Finally, what he is purported to have been said was said long, long ago, when Bush was considered a somewhat reckless youth.  If he were to comment on the film today, when he is president of the USA, now that would be another story. As such, items such as the GWB entry should not be included in a serious encyclopedia article. I will continue to search for more serious right-wing points-of-view and include with a legitimate reference. Luigibob 06:00, 31 March 2007 (UTC)

message: I have a question to one scene where the family was seen crossing a border between two states. From when to when where these borders in effect? What exactly was checked there? Who operated them? Bernburgerin 20:27, 20 August 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: It's the border between Arizona and California.  California to this day has a border stop to check most particularly for fruit and vegetables being brought into the state, as parasites and insects remain a potent matter to California's agricultural economy.

message: "Rose-of-Sharon" might have been her "real" name in the movie, but the credits clearly spell it "Rosasharn", so does the IMDb. --AchimP (talk) 13:17, 13 January 2008 (UTC)

message: In the scene where the Joad family crosses the Pecos River in Santa Rosa, NM (frame from this scene under Plot subheading), they are traveling in the wrong direction; that is eastbound, away from California.  — Preceding unsigned comment added by 173.55.160.110 (talk) 01:45, 31 December 2012 (UTC)

message: This article should also contain a reference to the fact that this film was banned in the Soviet Union for the reasons that it showed even the poorest Americans still owned an automobile and that Americans were free to travel from state to state without papers or government permission. The fact that socialist countries banned this film even though it contained so much pro-socialist propaganda should be considered one of the films most far reaching effects, yet Wiki omits this bit of history as though it wasn't relevant. It most certainly is. 2601:342:0:E3D0:592C:61F0:2B67:46DC (talk) 23:03, 22 June 2018 (UTC)

message: In Wikipedia I see several people listed as cast members for this movie The grapes of wrath.
One is Ron Crawford but it shows that he was born in 1945 and the movie came out in 1940 filmed in 1939 so how can he possibly be a cast member.
There is also another person born 1945 listed as a cast member here in the Wikipedia which cannot be accurate 2601:153:800:B9D0:5884:ABC0:2C99:902D (talk) 17:04, 14 December 2021 (UTC)
