Victor Fleming directed this quaint but culturally demeaning adaptation of John Steinbeck’s novel, set along the central coast of California. But their loafing, heavy-drinking lifestyle is interrupted when Danny falls for a beautiful factory worker (Hedy Lamarr), and Pilon entices a local dog-owning hobo (Frank Morgan) to move in with them and share secrets about his hoarded money. When Danny (John Garfield) inherits two houses from his deceased grandfather, his lazy but persuasive friend Pilon (Spencer Tracy) convinces him to rent one out to penniless Pilon, who then rents it out to their friend Pablo (Akim Tamiroff). “You’re nothing but a no-good paisano and a jailbird, like all your friends!”
