HERE’S WHAT the NEW YORK CRITICS SAID of the picture
"The Grapes ol Wrath" is just about as good as any picture has a right to be; if it was any better, we just wouldn't believe our eyes.
FRANK S. NUGENT. Times
"The Grapes of Wrath is the most daring picture that has ever come out of Hollywood and it is one of the most important."
KATE CAMERON
NEW YORK DAILY NEWS
"Merits a badge of honor for the United States movie industry."
LIFE MAGAZINE
"Better than the book."
WALTER WINCHELL
A great film, one of the greatest ever produced, everyone connected with the production should be congratulated.
WILLIAM BOEHNEL. World-Telegram
A great picture. One of the boldest and most honest pictures ever made. John Ford got the award in 1939 and it certainly looks like Ford for '40.
SIDNEY SKOLSKY. Post
"Zanuck has made a magnificent picture."
N. Y. JOURNAL AND AMERICAN
It is a genuinely great motion picture which makes one proud to have even a small share in affairs of the cinema.
HOWARD BARNES. Herald Tribune
Out of the pages of John Steinbeck's "The Grapes of Wrath." Nunnally Johnson and John Ford have fashioned one of the greatest pictures in the history of the screen.
LEO MISHKIN. Morning Telegraph
"The superb film of the year. Steinbeck's novel of the Okies magnificently adjusted to the screen."
