Pros: Brilliant Cast, well written, acted and narated

Cons: not on DVD

A stunning and hilarious cast of outcasts on Cannery Row. Narrated by John Huston. I measure the greatness of a movie by the number of scenes that jump into my memory over the years. There are simply too many absolutely stunning, hilarious, touching,... and brilliant scenes in this movie to review or even recall all of them, however here are a few: Mac and the Boys, the beer milkshake, the frog round-up, $2 for my sick aunt, the "dance-off", the Bear-Flag restaurant..."we don't serve that many sandwiches here", the psychic prediction to be the president, the new dress, the "see-er", baby octopi, the new microscope, the costume party, how to set a table for dinner, and on and on. A stunningly wonderful movie comparable to FRIED GREEN TOMATOES (without most of the heart break) . Highly, Highly recommended. Read more Less
