Of Mice and Men***
US 1939. United Artists/Hal Roach. 107m. bw
Drifters George and Lennie go on the run from one farm labourer's job to another, hoping to build a ranch for themselves but hampered by the child-like giant Lennie who doesn't know his own strength.

Producer/Director: Lewis Milestone.
Starring: Burgess Meredith, Lon Chaney Jnr, Betty Field, Roman Bohnen, Charles Bickford, Bob Steele, Noah Beery Jr, Oscar O'Shea.
