This is a must own version of John Steinbeck's American literary masterpiece. A wonderful adaptation of the timeless story of two migrant workers in depression era California. In this version George is played by Robert Blake, and Lennie by Randy Quaid, best known for movies like "The Last Picture Show". It also includes talent like Mitch Ryan (Dark Shadows, Star Trek: The Next Generation) as Slim, Ted Neeley (Jesus Christ Superstar) as Curley and veterans Lew Ayres as Candy and Whitman Mayo (Grady, Sanford and Son) as Crooks. Blake and Quaid are superb in their roles. This is an amazing made for TV film. An excellent script and solid performances elevate this version to a must have for your collection.
