Much lies with producer Zanuck, who was willing to pour money into a social document of this sort, gambling on its box office appeal; with director John Ford, whose skill in recreating the stark reality of Steinbeck's situations and in preserving variety where repitition would have been easy, has made of the film more than the vehicle for a message; and with the actors--especially Jane Darwell, Ma Joad--whose performances are well-nigh jawless...

...points which flanked Sweden's prepared defense zones (see map). Farther north a German force last week reached the Swedish frontier on the railroad line from Trondheim that crosses the narrow part of Norway, and cuts into middle Sweden, turning southward toward Stockholm. From Copenhagen the Germans could pour an endless column of men into Sweden's flat and defenseless bottom. From new air bases in Denmark, Nazi bombers can more easily than ever lay eggs of death in Swedish cities...
