Because Of <i>Oppenheimer </i>they couldn't play up the diversity angle hard enough.
I don't think he made the Oscars Memorial List?
I don't know if was in the book, but either way John Ford must have had some good feelings for truckers.
It was funny that when they left their change - which appeared to be 3-4 half dollars - the cashier looked surprised and the one gruffly said " what's it to ya." I took it to mean he thought if this diner was nice enough to help the Joads, the two guys could recognize that, with a big tip.
The cashier ended up saying <i> truckers</i> as the pair sped into the desert.
It was a large cast...others have to be around. In addition to Carroll and Russ. Most were late in their careers so think youth. The first I can come up with was one of George Peppard's kids, Stanley Livingston (longtime MTSons cast).
I have never read <B>QT </B> make reference to this picture. Though I may have missed it? But there had to be some references even if inadvertent.
Several <i> Gladiators </i> in this film!
I didn't like the child brought in for the "Bloody Christmas" show. She was fine it's the dialogue that wasn't realistic. Telling Siegfried it was ok to cry was not going to happen inj 1939, sorry. Telling other religious stories at Christmas, not good, again it was silly to have to accept.
Curtiz trying to do a few things done in the "Dodge City" bar scenes which were crazy too.
The whole picture was a complicated take on "Dodge" with this convoluted script which looked and sounded a lot like the picutre of a few years earlier not even Curtiz again, could pull it off.
They did it again NYE. It wasn't a good show but there was an occasional funny sequence in it. You would have to think it was doomed just by the accent they were hard to listen to at times.
I wonder if Fish was allowed to go back to the Miller show if this didn't work out which was a long long shot? Vigoda --lived another 40ys-- was still around for another 2-3 years of Miller and he could have replaced Jack Soo.
Yes I'm not interested in watching large minority men play games on C'Mas. But they have to try and dominate everything and it really is about gambling. People are home -in bad weather in half the country- and willing to bet.
Aside from a few vignettes here and there I didn't like it. The whole think about "the guard" totally unnecessary. I was expecting something different. I know the story well I didn't need the nonsense.
And why so vulgar? How many times can you hear the F-word before it sounds stupid.
