Tortilla Flat

Monterey, California Mexican-American John Steinbeck characters Spencer Tracy (as Pilon), Akim Tamiroff (Pablo) and John Garfield (Danny), who’s just inherited two modest houses, squabbling as Portugese Dolores (Hedy Lamar) makes her first appearance, shifting priorities, early in MGM’s Tortilla Flat, 1942.

Danny (John Garfield) ejects another suitor and moves in on Dolores (Hedy Lamar) until her Latin temper and his house catch fire in Tortilla Flat, 1942, from the John Steinbeck novel.

John Garfield (as "Danny"), Spencer Tracy (as "Pilon"), Akim Tamiroff (as "Pablo") and Sheldon Leonard (as "Tito") sing "Ay, Paisano!" by Frank Loesser and Franz Waxman, followed by chatter, in Tortilla Flat, 1942, very loosely based on the John Steinbeck novel.

Opening credits followed by Yankee Spencer Tracy and Russian Akim Tamiroff in their first scene as Mexican peasants Pilon and Pablo, in Tortilla Flat, 1942, from the John Steinbeck novel.

Spencer Tracy, Hedy Lamarr and John Garfield star in Tortilla Flat (1942), based on the novel by John Steinbeck.
