Tortilla Flat (1942)

For the first half, I was just so annoyed with this story. It felt mean-spirited and kind of racist. Everyone was so easily manipulated and no one wanted to work -- I don't know. It just hit me really wrong. But then a bunch of dogs with their sweet and simple master come along and things get immensely better. It's still a little iffy, but I wound up enjoying it.
