...this newfound grit are the two most famous speeches. When Lois Smith, giving the finest performance of a great stage career, says as Ma Joad that she knows "the people" will endure, she offers none of the reassuring faith of Jane Darwell in the film. Her words are instead the hollow attempt of a frightened peasant to calm herself and to reassure a son she expects never to see again.

He is one of several young designers who have emerged from Antwerp's Academie Royale des Beaux-Arts and who adapt menswear for women. Margiela likes to make new clothes look lived in. Although a scrupulous tailor, he sews dark seams at the knees of trousers to resemble a crease. Like everyone else, he goes for thigh-high boots, but his are real fishing gear...
