John Steinbecks novel was just two years old when director Lewis Milestone adapted it for the screen, and it remains the most potent treatment of the classic Depression-era story, not least because it depicts a period that the cast and crew had only recently lived through themselves, with none of the social safety-nets that their descendants take for granted. Burgess Meredith gives one of his finest performances as George, companion and protector of Lon Chaney Jr s hulking, slow-witted Lennie. Both men are itinerant workers, trying to make ends meet while dreaming of a modest future tilling their own land - an ambition constantly undermined by Lennies inability to avoid getting into scrapes, usually over misunderstandings.
