Tortilla Flat
THEY'RE STRONG FOR WINE, WOMEN, AND SONG.
A warm, picaresque comedy about friendship and camaraderie among working-class drifters, tinged with gentle melancholy about exploitation and lost potential.
Danny, a poor northern Californian Mexican-American, inherits two houses from his grandfather and is quickly taken advantage of by his vagabond friends.
