About this Item: Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer [MGM], Beverly Hills, CA, 1941. Complete script for the 1943 film. The fourth Steinbeck script to be adapted in as many years.

John Garfield plays a Mexican-American named Danny whose grandfather leaves him two houses as inheritance. Unfortunately Danny's friends quickly move in to Danny's newfound homes, and Danny must struggle to find employment and get the girl. Nominated for an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actor. Set in Northern California. Goldenrod studio wrappers, noted as COMPLETE, rubber-stamped copy No. 139 and production No. 4852, dated 7/16/41, with credits for screenwriter Mahin and producer Zimbalist.
