Haven't read Upton Sinclair's novel, so I don't know if they were in the original or not.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-10882105.post-22534240683953381762008-01-31T10:09:00.000-08:002008-01-31T10:09:00.000-08:00"I criticized it for being not quite realistic" - ...<I>"I criticized it for being not quite realistic"</I> - Believe me, there are a lot of movies where that is a very valid criticism.
