NEW YORK (CNS) In 1940, director John Ford adapted John Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the year before into the classic film “The Grapes of Wrath.”
Both book and picture distilled the miseries of the Dust Bowl and of the Great Depression generally into a profoundly moving portrait of uprooted Oklahoma farmers on the move to what they hoped would be a better life in California.

IN the mid 1930s, life in America’s west was tough from every aspect, graphically described in “The Grapes of Wrath”, John Steinbeck’s Pulitzer Prize-winning novel made into a movie that in 1941 got four Oscar nominations and two wins, one of which went to director John Ford.

Both those precedents were running through my mind as I watched Miles Joris-Peyrafitte’s fictional movie.
