I was not a fan of the long novel by John Steinbeck. I like his other works, such as Of Mice And Men, Travels With Charley, and The Grapes Of Wrath. I thought that Steinbeck in this novel was trying to compete with Hemingway too much to show what a He-Man he was. The course, vulgar language in the novel was annoying, and the novel way too long. However, when it comes to the movie it was nearly perfect. Of course, all three of Dean's major films were wonderful. His complex relations with his brother and father with a mysterious mother who disappeared. It was a much more fun movie than the book was.
