Of Mice and Men

1939, directed by Lewis Milestone
Film score by Aaron Copland
A powerful adaptation of the classic John Steinbeck tragedy about the friendship between two itinerant Southern farm hands on a sinister ranch during the Great Depression. Lon Chaney Jr. plays the gentle giant Lenny, who doesn’t know his own strength; Burgess Meredith is his protector, and Betty Field an ill-fated flirtatious farm wife. Copland’s first full-length film score earned two Academy Award nominations.
