Of Mice and Men
She was made for love… and tragedy.
The Story
Two migrant workers cling to a dream of land of their own as the Depression grinds them down.
The quick-witted George looks after Lennie, a gentle giant whose great strength and childlike mind keep leading them into trouble. Taking work on a California ranch, they edge close to their goal until the volatile boss's son and his neglected wife pull the pair toward catastrophe. When Lennie's innocent need for soft things ends in death, George is left to make a final, devastating act of mercy for the only friend he has.
