This is one of my favorite "feel-good" films. Its laid-back pace flows as a Steinbeck novel reads. This tone was set at the get-go by John Huston's narration. Most narrations seem to be used mainly as a means of filling in plot holes left by a lousy script, and end up being a distraction. Huston's enhances the film. Makes you feel like you have the book in front of you. One of those films I could watch again and again.
