THE GRAPES OF WRATH - (1940) John Ford

One of the outstanding features of this film is the cinematography of Gregg Toland.  A year later he would be the Director of Photography on "Citizen Kane."  Orson Welles shared his director's card with him during the credits.  I believe that hasn't happened before or since.  I have included a couple more pictures of interest.












Here is an original American half sheet poster (22x28).  Like all such items from classic films of this era, it is quite valuable today.


This is  the full dust jacket spread from the original 1939 printing of the novel by John Steinbeck.

  1. This movie captured the true meaning of family. They struggled together, lifted each other's spirits, and made the most of what life handed them.
