Sinopsis: John y Mary heredan una granja abandonada cuando se encuentran en una apurada situación económica. Deciden explotarla y, ante su inexperiencia, John decide asociarse con un experto labrador que carece de tierras. (FILMAFFINITY)
---------------------------------------------
En los años de la Gran Depresión, John y Mary heredan una granja abandonada y ubicada en el Medio Oeste cuando se encuentran en una apurada situación económica. Deciden explotarla y ante su inexperiencia John opta por montar una cooperativa formada por campesinos sin tierras. Las penurias del país se contagiaran en el seno de la granja, pues a la sequía también hay que sumarle el acoso de los acreedores del banco, que quieren cobrar la antigua hipoteca. Por si eso no fueran ya suficientes problemas, el matrimonio de John y Mary se sumerge en una crisis cuando John se encapricha de Sally, una muchacha que ha entrado a trabajar en la granja. (CINeol)
---------------------------------------------
Celebrado drama en el que se aborda la Depresión americana con un espíritu cercano a la política de Franklin D. Roosevelt. Su discurso resulta un tanto utópico, pero su magnífica resolución formal lo convierte en uno de los títulos más influyentes de la época. Su carácter coyuntural no ha sido óbice para que haya resistido vigorosamente el paso del tiempo, constituyendo una excelente epopeya popular. (Fotogramas)
AMG SYNOPSIS: Unable to secure Hollywood-studio backing for his Depression-era agrarian drama Our Daily Bread, director King Vidor financed the picture himself, with the eleventh-hour assistance of Charles Chaplin. Intended as a sequel to Vidor's silent classic The Crowd (1928) the film casts Tom Keene and Karen Morley as John and Mary, the roles originated in the earlier film by James Murray and Eleanor Boardman. Unable to make ends meet in the Big City, John and Mary assume control of an abandoned farm, even though they know nothing about tilling the soil. Generous to a fault, the couple opens their property to other disenfranchised Depression victims, and before long they've formed a utopian communal cooperative, with everyone pitching together for the common good. Beyond such traditional obstacles as inadequate funding, failed crops and drought, John is deflected from his purpose by sluttish blonde vamp Sally (Barbara Pepper), but he pulls himself together in time to supervise construction of a huge irrigation ditch -- a project which consumes the film's final two reels, and which turns out to be one of the finest and most thrilling sequences that Vidor (or anyone) ever put on film. The acting by Tom Keene and Barbara Pepper is atrocious, but John Qualen saves the show as a dedicated Swedish farmer, especially when he loudly rejects the notion that communal farming is a "Red" idea (this didn't stop the anti-New Deal press from labelling the film as "Pinko" back in 1934 -- and never mind that the communist press considered the film "capitalist propaganda"!) The optimistic finale, distinguished by its Eisentein-like "rhythmic" editing, fortunately lingers in the memory far longer than the film's dramatic and structural defects. Our Daily Bread is also enhanced by Alfred Newman's stirring musical score, later borrowed by Darryl F. Zanuck for his production of Les Miserables (1935). -- Hal Erickson
AMG REVIEW: Terribly uneven but with a stirring climactic sequence that redeems many of its flaws, Our Daily Bread suffers most from being a film that puts ideology above dramatic considerations. The ideology is fine, even commendable, but it's presented in such a bald-faced manner, relatively free of nuance, that it frequently comes across as alternately naïve and laughable. Still, while it's a long way from the snappy repartee in All About Eve, Joseph Mankiewicz has managed to add a little seasoning to the dialogue, especially in the salty slang he supplies for Sally. This tarty role is played with obvious enjoyment by Barbara Pepper, and the potentially annoying Chris is handled with sensitivity and flair by John Qualen. Unfortunately, the all-important leads are given to two actors who seem to hail from the "gee whiz!" school of acting, and the overly obvious dialogue they are given doesn't exactly inspire them to dig deeper into their roles. Tom Keene does do reasonably well with his big scene during the dark night of his soul, and Karen Morley is good at conveying the requisite inner longing, but on the whole their work is substandard. Fortunately, director King Vidor scatters several visually impressive sequences throughout, and saves a genuine stunner for the final irrigation sequence. That segment -- with its expert use of editing and framing to achieve maximum dramatic tension and release -- is one of the most joyous pieces ever captured on celluloid. -- Craig Butler
