Four-star movie: Of Mice and Men
Of Mice and Men
Director: Lewis Milestone
1939
Now this is a sad, sad movie, and for once I'm not going to pick holes in the plot. I gather it's a close adaptation of the original Steinbeck story. I knew the basic plot already, and hadn't really been looking forward to watching it. It drew me in and had me hoping for a better ending despite that.
Synopsis and more information here.
***********
And that catches me up with my current four-star watching. There will be more over the summer, because there's less network TV to keep up with. Next up are Nights of Cabiria and A Night at the Opera, which will finish off all the movies on the list starting with the letter N. There are a surprising number of O movies after that.
