Yes, " GRAPES OF WRATH" is a detestable movie! O should have included that one as well. Thanks for adding it.

"SISTER CARRIE" didn't do the "society's victim" bit and was quite scandalous. The movie, made much later and "cleaned up" , also earned some condemnation.

But don't forget that Clifford Odets and many card carrying Commies came to Hollywood out of the extremely Commie, WPA subsidize GROUP THEATRE, in N.Y. and just continued pushing the envelope.

GAG.........I hated "NATIVE SON", which I was forced to read, for a college American lit class. :-(

I like what Robert Mitchum said about the commie writers in the late 40's, early fifties. " It is hard to have sympathy for a bunch of spoiled brats who make $5,000 a week, and on Thursday nights, sneak off to a meeting in a fashonable house in Beverly Hills to meet with commie hotshots. Me, I kicked a couple of their asses, just on general principles"

A&E Network, 1996.

And Borges, there havent been more than 20 good films released in the last 20 years.
