Henry Fonda steals the show


The rest of the cast is great, but it is Henry Fonda that elevates this movie.

I still feel this way, even after having finished the movie.

Ethel was right there with him imo

Fonda was one of the greatest actors who ever lived. He had a way of making it look natural and easy, which it isn't.
In my opinion, he was robbed of the Oscar for best actor on at least two occasions.
He won for this film (finally) but should have won for "The Grapes of Wrath".
