Of Mice and Men (1939) DVD

Oscar-nominated for the Best Picture of the year (1939), OF MICE AND MEN was adapted from the classic novel by American literary giant John Steinbeck and features stunningly memorable performances by Burgess Meredith (In Harm's Way, Rocky) and Lon Chaney, Jr. (The Wolfman, High Noon) and a moving, Academy Award-nominated score from legendary composer Aaron Copland. The film, set in the bucolic Salinas Valley of California in the 1930s, paints a bold, vivid picture of life in the Depression era and tells the tragic tale of men searching for a safe haven from the cruelties of the world where true poverty is loneliness and alienation from the loyalty and kindness of other men.
