The Grapes of Wrath Movie DVD HENRY FONDA JOHN FORD Oscar Winner 1940 NEW SEALED

Description: Grapes of Wrath HENRY FONDA JANE DARWELL JOHN FORD Oscar Winner 1940 NEW SEALED This remarkable film version of Steinbeck's novel was nominated for seven Academy Awards, including for Best Picture, Actor, Film Editing, Sound and Writing. Ranking No. 21 on the American Film Institute's list of the 100 greatest American films, this 1940 classic remains a luminous example of Hollywood classicism from the peerless director of Americana, John Ford. Adapted by Nunnally Johnson from John Steinbeck's classic novel, the film tells a simple story about Oklahoma farmers leaving the depression-era dustbowl for the promised land of California, but it's the story's emotional resonance and theme of human perseverance that makes the movie so richly and timelessly rewarding. It's all about the humble Joad family's cross-country trek to escape the economic devastation of their ruined farmland, beginning when Tom Joad (Henry Fonda) returns from a four-year prison term to discover that his family home is empty. He's reunited with his family just as they're setting out for the westbound journey, and thus begins an odyssey of saddening losses and strengthening hopes. As Ma Joad, Oscar-winner Jane Darwell is the embodiment of one of America's greatest social tragedies and the "Okie" spirit of pressing forward against all odds (as she says, "because we're the people"). A documentary-styled production for which Ford and cinematographer Gregg Toland demanded painstaking authenticity, The Grapes of Wrath is much more than a classy, old-fashioned history lesson. With dialogue and scenes that rank among the most moving and memorable ever filmed, it's a classic among classics - one of the finest films ever made.
