An awful movie! The characters are all so deplorable, that the ending, instead of being sad, is joyous! I thought, thank God that this horrible movie with hardly any plot, is finally over. It says more about the writer and director, than it does about the era depicted. Audiences accept this piece of junk as an accurate depiction of 1930's America. Let's remember that movies are not reality. This started as an idea in a writer's mind, and was then brought to picture form by a bunch of people who had a very warped sense of entertainment. Not too many good films have come out of Hollywood since the 1950's. If one wants to see films about the Depression era, I recommend the Hollywood films made during the 1930's. Those films say more than this ratty film ever could. That the despicable Jane Fonda was nominated for Best Actress for this trash, only sounded a death toll for the greatness that was once Hollywood.
