Of Mice and Men

The film had a release date preceding that of The Grapes of Wrath, but it is too bad they should be thrown into inevitable but needless comparison.

Impressive adaptation of Steinbeck's novel.

This is a magnificent film, which makes a deep impression; but that, in our opinion, should never have been brought to the screen. [Full review in Spanish]

[John F. Hamilton and Leigh Whipper] vie for top honors in the supporting cast.

On the indicated level a marvelous job of production, direction, and acting has been done.

The natural state of humanity is to be kind to each other, Steinbeck says - holding George and Lennie up as an imperfect example.

Milestone's version is the most powerful adaptation of John Steinbeck' touching story of two drifters in Depression era America, played by Burgess Meredith and Lon Chaney and brilliantly scored by Aaron Copeland.
