Of Mice And Men

Gary Sinise both stars in and directs this Horton Foote adaptation of the John Steinbeck novel classic and he does it with superb results. Sinise brings to life the charachter of George Milton with seemingly great ease and is well equalled by John Malkovich as Lenny Small. Ray Walston almost steals the show in his portrayal of the old and crusty Candy and Sherilyn Fenn, who I think is the most beautiful woman in the world, is far more than adequare in the role of Curly's seductress wife. Mark Isham provides the original score which works perfectly with stellar cinematography. I'm still of the mind you should read the novel first but if you're strapped for time this film does the job just fine!
