Pilon, Danny, the Pirate - paisanos alI - live a free-spirited life near seaside Monterey. Then Danny becomes a man of property, the heir to two modest houses and a watch from his grandfather. Too bad that inheritance isn't something worthwhile, Iike wine or money. But a gorgeous, newIy arrived cannery worker named Sweets thinks a man of property may himself be worthwhile...and marriageable. Spencer Tracy, John GarfieId, Hedy Lamarr, Frank Morgan - stars aIl - bring HoIIywood gIoss to this affectionate adaptation of John Steinbeck's breakthrough noveI (and Morgan was a Best Supporting Actor Oscar nominee* for his charming work). "Victor FIeming has directed with deep understanding. AIl of the actors - yes, aII of them - have deIineated robust characters" (Bosley Crowther, The New York Times). |
