  • "The Grapes of Wrath captures the desperation of Americans fighting the environmental disaster that was the dust bowl; an agricultural and economic collapse resulting from cash crops and overgrazing that overwhelmed the American Great Plains in the 1930's. John Steinbeck who wrote the novel the film was based on, had worked and lived as a reporter among the Okies as they struggled with economic collapse and usurious bankers to save their homes. His portrait of the fictional Joads migration to California became a lightning rod for the social displacement that Americans were experiencing in 1939, when the book was published. Librarians in Trenton, San Francisco and Detroit confined Steinbeck's novel to closed shelves, as a dangerous book. The community leaders of Kern County where Steinbeck had done much of his research, banned the novel from their libraries and wrote to Twentieth Century Fox requesting that the film's production be stopped. Kern County's agribusiness had long relied on the traditionally low wages paid to waves of Chinese, Japanese and Mexican immigrants arriving in California. The publicity that Steinbeck's book brought to this long established relationship was something community leaders were unprepared for. Steinbeck's sense of outrage at the treatment of the dustbowl's Okies is still evident in John Ford's film adaptation starring Henry Fonda as Tom Joad."@en

  • "This adaptation of Steinbeck's novel about the desperate plight of dispossessed 'Okies' forced off the land in the mid-west dustbowl and searching for a new beginning in California, was almost universally acclaimed for its documentary realism in 1940. What is more apparent today is the skilful stylization of the images. Little of the documentary footage shot by a second unit along Route 66 was actually used in the film. While necessarily deleting characters and simplifying the storyline the script does retain something of the spirit of the novel. The performances of Fonda and Carradine stand out but in place of the novel's anger, social realism and wider political implications, is substituted a populist elegy with biblical connotations to the disintegration of community and family. The desperation of the novel is replaced by the paternalistic and optimistic mood of the New Deal."@en

  • "John Steinbeck's novel The Grapes of Wrath tells the specific story of the Joad family in order to illustrate the hardship and oppression suffered by migrant laborers during the Great Depression. It is an explicitly political tract that champions collectivist action by the lower classes over expressions of individualist self-interest and chastises corporate and banking elites for shortsighted policies meant to maximize profit even while forcing farmers into destitution and even starvation. -- from http://www.gradesaver.com (Sep. 9, 2011)."
  • "John Ford's "The Grapes of Wrath" is a left-wing parable, directed by a right-wing American director, about how a sharecropper's son, a barroom brawler, is converted into a union organizer. Tom Joad, paroled convict, returns to his family farm in Oklahoma, only to learn the Joads have been "tractored off the land" and are joining the desperate migration to California. The grand Westward movement of American settlement finds small shareholders forced off their land by bankers and big landholders. "The Grapes of Wrath" expresses the nation's rage about the Depression in poetic, Biblical terms, and shows half a nation with the economic rug pulled out from under it. The story--about the resiliency and courage of "the people"--Is built on a foundation of fear: Fear of losing jobs, land, and self-respect. To those who have felt that fear, have gone hungry or been homeless, it will never become dated, while today its sense of injustice is perhaps even more relevant."@en

Taking to the road in an aged jalopy, the Joad clan suffers the misery of exploitative migrant camps as they make their way to California and the hope of a better life. Ford's film is noteworthy for its ensemble acting and for the masterful cinematography of Gregg Toland. In addition, Ford drew on the photographs of Margaret Bourke-White, Walker Evans, Dorothea Lange, Arthur Rothstein and Ben Shahn to achieve the film's aura of authenticity. (Circulates)."
