Great Films in less than 60 secs - The Grapes of Wrath (1940)

[@713davidh42]

I think "The Grapes of Wrath" is the greatest film of all time. John Ford's direction garnered him a deserved Oscar and Jane Darwell delivers the best Oscar-winning supporting actress performance ever. Henry Fonda and a cast of fine character actors including Russell Simpson, Charley Grapewin, Zeffie Tilbury and John Qualen give the best performances of their careers. Nunnally Johnson's screenplay based on John Steinbeck's searing novel offers a glimmer of hope in the face of overwhelming tragedy. Studio head Darryl Zanuck also deserves recognition for looking into and bringing to the screen this tragic chapter in American history. Nearly all great films have a scene or two which one might not appreciate, but in this film every scene resonates and at the end you realize that you've seen a masterpiece.
