1. One of my all-time favorites
My mother hated this movie because it was too realistic about the depression.

2. "I'll be all around in the dark.I'll be everywhere, wherever you can look"
"Wherever there's a fight so hungry people can eat - I'll be there. Wherever there's a cop beatin' up a guy - I'll be there. I'll be in the way guys yell when they're mad. I'll be in the way kids laugh when they're hungry and they know supper's ready. And when the people are eating the stuff they raised and living in the houses they build - I'll be there, too."

5. The book's even more depressing...
The film is the "Hollywood" version, if you can believe it.

Wonder why this isn't out on DVD in the US?
