The hopeless fairy tale that George (Wallace Ford) tells Lennie (Broderick Crawford) over and over about the little house on the little piece o' land, with an alfalfa patch and rabbits for Lennie to pet, where one day they will live "off the fatta...

"I enjoyed being poor and I didn't want to play a role in the world." The thing she missed most was her children, whom she saw only secretly, at bitterly long intervals. The Lawrences quarreled not only with each other but with most of their friends. Their friendship with Katherine Mansfield and Middleton Murry "was the only spontaneous and jolly" one they...
