Tortilla Flat Overview:
Tortilla Flat (1942) was a Comedy - Drama Film directed by Victor Fleming and produced by Sam Zimbalist.
SYNOPSIS
Tracy and Garfield play two friends just trying to get by in Steinbeck's world of Monterey, California's canneries and fishermen. Tracy and Tamiroff move in when Garfield inherits two houses, seeming to bring him bad luck as Garfield fights with the beautiful cannery worker he adores (Lamarr) and one of his houses burns down. Tracy gets ideas when Morgan shows up with his dog and a small fortune. Whimsical humor and realistically portrayed, colorful characters make this an overlooked gem.
