WSR Narrative Review |

Story Synopsis:
John Steinbeck’s timeless classic about two close friends, seeking work in the Califor-nia farm country during the Depression was adapted for the screen by two-time Acade-my Award® winner Horton Foote. Gary Sinese directs and also co-stars in this magnificent miracle of filmmaking. Oscar® nominee John Malkovich (1984 Best Supporting Actor for Places In The Heart) plays Lennie, the big man with the mind of a child.
LaserDisc Picture:
Sound is good but lacks the fidelity and bandwidth of the best discs. Surround effects are used appropriately and sound natural.
