Amazon.com essential video:
Truly one of the unsung triumphs of 1939, this heartfelt adaptation of John Steinbeck's morality tale of two itinerant migrant workers seems just as fresh and powerful decades after its release. Lon Chaney Jr. gives the performance of a lifetime as the sweet yet feeble-minded Lennie, who is befriended by the weary Burgess Meredith. They both would be lost without each other in a rather mixed-up world. Sensitively directed by Lewis Milestone (All Quiet on the Western Front), the film features the first pre-credit sequence in American film history. There's also a nice score by Aaron Copland. --Bill Desowitz

There was a deep understanding of true, frightening hardship and poverty, from which we are generations now removed. The story of George Milton and Lennie Small is a tale of two men, inextricably bound, yin and yang. The novel is still required in high schools, so you know that Lennie is, ... Read More

"Movie not only stands up but takes a bow; wispy dialouge, stellar performances and adroitly shot. Don't waste your time on the tired remakes. One of the best movies I've ever seen! Lon Chaney delivers as well as Burgess Meredith."
