Henry Fonda (1905–1982)

An Acsdemy-winning adaptation of the novel by John Steinbeck.

Tom Joad (Henry Fonda) regresa a su hogar tras cumplir condena en prisión, pero la ilusión de volver a ver a los suyos se transforma en frustración al ver cómo los expulsan de sus tierras. Para escapar al hambre y a la pobreza, la familia no tiene más remedio que emprender un larguísimo viaje lleno de penalidades con la esperanza de encontrar una oportunidad en California, la tierra prometida.

A family of Oakies migrate from the dust bowl to California.

Surprisingly engaging. The only real problem I had with it is that certain characters have a tendency to monologue. They don't even bother pretending that it's part of a conversation; they just make speeches. Otherwise, it's very well done.

between steinbeck and erksine caldwell one can catch the sense of the 1930s. the jode family's travels cannot be brought to the screen as well as it is written here.
