If you wonder why Meryl Streep and Jack Nicolson became famous as superstars, this movie will demonstrate why. These two people probably provide enough acting genius in this movie to blow out a major cineplex. Tom Waits also turns in a suprisingly good performance. If you want to see what two mature master actors can do with a rather depressing story, set in a world grimier then Cannery Row and with out the genius of Steinbecks' writing, but nevertheless excellent, rent or buy this film. It is a masterpiece.
