This is in my top 3 favorite movies! I usually don't like when books are made into movies, since they usually don't do them any justice. However, I read both books (Cannery Row & Sweet Thursday) and though they took a few liberties here and there, they also took some of the dialogue straight from the books. Also, they effectively captured the essesence of what Steinbeck was trying to convey. Still, if you haven't, do read both books!
Pindowskivich: you are right on the money. This is a great movie, interesting, fantastic music, fast dialogue, atmospheric - absolutely wonderful. Anyone who doesn't like it probably watches those Friday night horror movies.
Great book, great movie!

Probably, one of the best movies made, but got no credit.

He looks nothing like Doc, why is he dressed like Indiana Jones?

Right, underappreciated movie. 6.3 in IMDB (public) but the review gives it 9. It's an excellent movie anyway.
