John Steinbeck’s Cannery Row

Featuring the narration of John Huston, John Steinbeck’s Cannery Row is a sparkling tale of warmth, humor and humanity based on the author’s books, “Cannery Row” and “Sweet Thursday.” Nick Nolte stars as Doc, an eccentric, well-known ex-baseball player, now marine biologist leading a quiet life in a seedy California fish canning town. When Suzy (Debra Winger), an independent young drifter, comes to Cannery Row, she lands a job selling her charms while starving for self-esteem. When the unlikely pair meet, they are drawn to each other in a romance they both know can’t work—but still can’t avoid. John Steinbeck’s Cannery Row is David S. Ward’s directorial debut and features fantastic set design by Richard MacDonald.
