While we're talking about films I just wanted to record what a high I'm on having just watched the last 45 minutes of Grapes of Wrath which was on cable tonight. The bad landowners and thugs, the prophets of revolt of the common man, the illustration of a collective capacity to build community as seen in the government-sponsored communal camp, the conviction that the "people" will go on and on, and of course simply the reminder that not 60 years ago such conditions existed.... has there ever been a better left-wing film from Hollywood?
