SO many huge names.... frank morgan, spencer tracy, john garfield. Supporting roles for familiar faces donald meeks, hedy lamarr. Willy fung, allen jenkins. When danny inherits two houses, his friends all move in and take advantage of his new wealth. Pilon (tracy) is a trouble maker, always looking out for himself. He'll say anything to get ahead and stir up trouble! Will he get his come-uppance? It's pretty good, for a steinbeck story. It's a shame they couldn't have actually hired some hispanic actors, instead of trying to use those terrible fake accents, but i guess that's how hollywood operated at the time. Directed by victor fleming. Frank morgan (The Wizard!) was nominated for an oscar.
