Comments: An Oklahoma family is pushed off the land it share-farms. They decide to follow paper fliers, promising work, to California. They set out on the journey that turns out to be mostly bad.
I read John Steinbeck's novel before watching the film. Some details are left out. The final sequence, which is the most depressing part of the novel, is also left out. The film manages to be upbeat amidst the hard lives of this fictional family. Recommended.
