Typescript for the 1939 movie script adapted by Eugene Solow from the 1937 play based on the novella of the same title by John Steinbeck. The film, produced by the Hal Roach Studio and directed by Lewis Milestone, starring Lon Chaney, Jr., and Burgess Meredith. It was nominated for four Oscars. The musical score was by American composer Aaron Copland. Running in theaters in 1939, it disappeared for many years at a time until the 1980s and 1990s, when it slowly appeared in revival theater houses, video and cable and earned a following of fans (both audience members and film critics) who praised the movie for its brilliant interpretation of the Steinbeck novella. This draft has two alternative endings.
