We Watch and Review Classic Movies
Bob and I continue our discussion of John Ford's adaptation of John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath." This is the follow-up to last week's discussion. We pick up with the Joad's heading into the desert on the border of Arizona and California. Things take a definite turn for the worst, if that's possible.

Bob and I get philosophical (and political) as we discuss the merits of John Ford's adaptation of John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath." We talk for an hour and so we've decided to split this episode into two parts. This week we follow the Joad's to the border of California, right before their perilous desert night crossing. Next week, we'll find out what happens to them in California. Spoiler: it's not good.
