Description

The Grapes of Wrath (20th Century Fox, 1940). Title Lobby Card (11" X 14").
This film's "fake" working title was Highway 66, as director John Ford needed to use Oklahoma in the highway scenes and Steinbeck's novel was very controversial with many of the state's citizens. The novel, in fact, had been criticized upon its release, and nowhere more so than in the Midwest. Henry Fonda, Jane Darwell and a large cast of accomplished actors make this one of the top classic films of all time. Paper for this film has always been highly coveted, and this title card is in excellent condition. Pinholes in the corners, and a dust shadow in the bottom right corner are the only flaws of note. Very Fine.
