The Grapes of Wrath (1940) -- Very good movie, I thought that Fonda was very well cast as Tom Joad and I liked the casting of the remaining Joad family, as well. There were a lot of differences between the book and the film, the biggest of which being the ending and (and this is my opinion) the departure of Noah Joad in Arizona (and with it the relationship between Noah and Pa). Besides that I honestly didn't feel the the movie quite captured the pure desolation that the book managed to, but then they didn't want everybody who saw it to kill themselves lol. Overall a very important piece of film in terms of American history and required viewing, in my opinion. Another one Steinbeck said he enjoyed, apparently.
