Of Mice and Men
(1939)
| Director: |
| | Plot: | George Milton and Lennie Small are migrant workers in the 1930s Depression. Lennie is mentally retarded and George looks after him. While working as hands on a Western ranch, they dream of owning their own ranch and the opportunity may be available. Their current ranch is owned by a sadistic man who has a flirtatious wife.
A man with the size and strength of a giant but the mind of a child, and his level-headed friend wander around Central California looking for work, only to end up at a ranch owned by a man whose sadistic son and flirtatious daughter-in-law ruin things for everyone.
George and half-wit Lennie work on a western ranch during the Great Depression, dreaming of the autonomy of owning and operating their own ranch some day.
