Our Daily Bread (1934)

1934 · 80 min · Drama, Romance

John and Mary Sims are city-dwellers hit hard by the financial fist of The Depression. Driven by bravery (and sheer desperation) they flee to the country and, with the help of other workers, set up a farming community - a socialist mini-society. The newborn community suffers many hardships - drought, vicious raccoons and the long arm of the law - but ultimately pull together to reach a bread-based Utopia.

Directed by King Vidor. Starring Karen Morley, Tom Keene, Barbara Pepper, Addison Richards and John Qualen.
