Our Daily Bread (1934) is an American drama directed, produced, and co‑written by King Vidor. A follow‑up to his earlier film The Crowd (1928), it continues the story of John and Mary Sims—now played by Tom Keene and Karen Morley—as they struggle through the Great Depression. With no work and few prospects, the couple moves to a rural farm offered by Mary’s uncle. There, they join forces with other unemployed people to build a cooperative farming community. As drought, hunger, and economic pressure threaten their survival, the group bands together to dig an irrigation ditch by hand, fighting for self‑reliance and a future built on shared labor.

00:00:00The End

00:00:51Just because you're you, sweetheart,

00:00:55And just because I'm I, our lives will come together

00:01:02Without a tear or sigh,

00:01:06And though the years roll slowly by,

00:01:11You'll find I'll e'er be true,

00:01:14Just because I'm I, sweetheart,

00:01:20What about you?

00:01:25Are you?

00:01:29Oh.

00:01:32Oh, that's so, you did say you'd come back today, didn't you?

00:01:35Could you give us a few more days?

00:01:37My husband's out in a wonderful prospect,

00:01:39And besides, one of my relatives is coming here tonight,

00:01:41And I'm certain he'll be able to help us in some way.

00:01:43I'm positive everything will be all right in two or three days.

00:01:47Old man Godsky's getting pretty sore at you delinquent tenants.

00:01:50But I'll try and store them all from day after tomorrow.

00:01:53But that'll be the limit.

00:01:54If your hubby can't dig up some money by then,

00:01:56Well, you'd better have your bags packed when I come back.

00:01:58Thank you so much, Mr. Crump.

00:02:00I'm certain we'll be able to dig up some money by then.

00:02:04Well, goodbye.

00:02:26Hello.

00:02:29Was that oozes I saw going down the stairs?

00:02:32He gave us till day after tomorrow.

00:02:41How'd you make out?

00:02:43Same old story.

00:02:45A hundred guys and only one job.

00:02:46I seem to be getting nowhere fast.

00:02:51John, Uncle Anthony's in town.

00:02:53He called up today and I got the bright idea to ask him here for dinner.

00:02:56There's a chance he might give you a job.

00:02:58Oh, what did you do that for?

00:02:59We can get along without him.

00:03:01Well, a job's a job no matter where it comes from.

00:03:03Well, we still got two days.

00:03:05I'll figure out something by then.

00:03:08Come on, let's figure out where we're gonna get a chicken for dinner.

00:03:10Well, why a chicken?

00:03:12Can't your uncle eat hamburgers as well as I can?

00:03:14He can, but he's not going to tonight.

00:03:17Well, how are we going to get a chicken?

00:03:19The same way we've been getting the hamburger.

00:03:21Now, run along.

00:10:25You know, you know, I'm so afraid of tramps.

00:10:41You know, you know, I'm so afraid of tramps.

00:10:47I'm afraid to go on.

00:11:03Did you see them?

00:11:08No, I don't know.

00:11:10Well, you know, you know what they are.

00:11:12Yo-ho.

00:11:54Hey, why don't you put the axle over that hole there and then shove the jack under?

00:12:01Thanks. That's a good idea.

00:12:15That's a good yoke, all right. I fixed the tire to go, and I got this much gas only.

00:12:22I'd like to help you out, but I haven't got any gas here. You going far?

00:12:25I was going to California, Pan Gold maybe, but I don't think I get there now.

00:12:32That's tough, all right. Where'd you start from?

00:12:35I was a farmer in Minnesota, but they take my farm away.

00:12:39Yeah, it's been pretty hard on you guys.

00:12:42Say, I bet you know all about farming.

00:12:45I always think so, till the last couple years.

00:12:49How would you like to come in here and work this place with me?

00:12:52I just got here yesterday myself, and I don't know much about this farming racket.

00:12:58Say, fella, you yoking?

00:13:00Well, it's no joking. Come on, I'll open the gate.

00:13:09See how she goes? Water makes ground use like chocolate cake.

00:13:14Say, that's wonderful.

00:13:22I'd sure like some sardines tonight for a change. I haven't had any since last night.

00:13:40Oh, hello there. Hello.

00:13:43Hilda, my wife say maybe you like come eat hot rabbit stew?

00:13:53Oh, we'll be right over. Thanks very much.

00:13:56You're very welcome.

00:14:01Say, how's that, huh?

00:14:05Man, the next time you want the rabbit stew, you just fix a wire like this, and a loop like

00:14:11this, and here comes the rabbit.

00:14:14Clonk, clonk, clonk, bing, and he's catched.

00:14:20And if I don't get him, I stop him so.

00:14:29Well, can you imagine that?

00:14:31Wonderful.

00:14:32And those carrots was on the other end of these weeds you cut down yesterday.

00:14:36Oh, John.

00:14:38You mean I cut?

00:14:39Yeah, sure.

00:14:45Well, what do you know about that? Carrows grow on weeds.

00:14:49No.

00:14:53I was just thinking how much that sweet is done in one day.

00:14:59There must be a lot of fellas in the same boat, just driving someplace until they run out of gas.

00:15:07Look, if one man can do as much as he has in one day, well, why wouldn't ten men do

00:15:13ten times as much?

00:15:14You know, a plumber, a carpenter, a stonemason, a sort of cooperative community.

00:15:20Where money isn't so important.

00:15:22You help me, I help you.

00:15:24Great idea, huh?

00:15:27If it suits you, it's okay by me.

00:15:49Great ideas.

00:15:49I prepared them at the moment.

00:15:56They have a good idea for you.

00:15:57You like that?

00:15:57The ball's gonna make the deal.

00:16:02All right.

00:16:02We're here, we're there.

00:16:04We're near them, we're on the way.

00:16:04We're here, we're on the way to get a bar and go.

00:16:14And they're still pouring in dozens of them, John.

00:18:50what did they do?

00:18:51Stand around and beef about the unemployment situation

00:18:54or value the dollar?

00:18:55No!

00:18:56They set to work to make their own employment,

00:18:59build their own houses,

00:19:00and grow their own food.

00:19:02On the Mayflower,

00:19:10If they got along without landlords and grocery bills,

00:19:13so can we.

00:19:14What we've got to do

00:19:16is help ourselves by helping others.

00:28:22Chris.

00:28:23You, you're seven days before we can't.

00:28:40Almighty Father, we thank Thee for this glorious evidence of Thy everlasting care and of Thy bounty.

00:28:49Blessed be Thy name.

00:28:51Thou hast made the Earth fruitful, that our labor be productive.

00:28:56We are grateful for this proof of Thy watchfulness.

00:29:00It restoreth our hope and faith, that with Thy help, we shall not want for our daily bread.

00:29:11Thine is the kingdom, the power, and the glory, now and forever.

00:29:21Amen.

00:29:22Amen.

00:29:24Come quick, Papa.

00:29:25It's a boy.

00:29:26It's a boy.

00:29:28It's a boy.

00:29:32It's a boy.

00:29:41It's a boy.

00:29:44It's a boy.

00:29:54Let's anyone killvais you?

00:29:56It's a boy.

00:29:58Let's carry on.

00:30:20I never had such service in all my life.

00:30:23Oh, you deserve it.

00:30:27Is the noise too loud for you, Mama?

00:30:29Should I stop celebrating the sprouts because I got another baby?

00:30:33I love it.

00:30:35Is it fine, son, you have, Mr. Cohen?

00:30:38Coochie, coochie, coochie.

00:30:40You're telling me.

00:30:45I hope I can do as much for you someday.

00:30:52Thank you, Mr. Cohen.

00:30:55Thank you, Mr. Cohen.

00:31:11Thank you, Mr. Cohen.

00:31:22Hey.

00:31:31Ain't that this place?

00:31:32You said it, Louie.

00:31:34Well, don't you folks own this farm?

00:31:36No, Louie, we don't.

00:32:03It's so good.

00:32:05Take a good look at it, honey.

00:32:08It's probably our last chance.

00:32:11Chris says that the taller the coin gets, the more beautiful it looks.

00:32:15The stocks bend in the wind, he says.

00:32:18They never stop climbing.

00:32:21Yeah.

00:32:22Say, they get taller than I am.

00:32:24They're up there.

00:32:27Oh, John, I don't ever want to leave here.

00:32:30John!

00:32:31John!

00:32:32The sheriff is here!

00:32:40Let's go, honey.

00:32:43I am directed by order of the Superior Court to offer public option the following piece of property in Center

00:32:49County,

00:32:49the farm known as the Roger S. Wilson Farm, consisting of 160 acres, more or less,

00:32:55an Ottawa township, together with the farm buildings and equipment complete,

00:32:58to satisfy the judgment of $4,482.17, and cost, in favor of the Central City Bank and Trust Company.

00:33:08Bids are now acceptable on this farm. What do I offer?

00:33:13Well, who's going to start the bidding?

00:33:16I'll bid one for...

00:33:18Hey, what's the big idea?

00:33:20You don't want to bid, mister.

00:33:25I said who's going to start the bidding?

00:33:32Come on, gents. Start off the bidding.

00:33:38I bid $1.75.

00:33:40What was that?

00:33:41I said $1.06 bids.

00:33:44What is this, a joke?

00:33:46Why, the mortgage alone is $4,000, and the property is worth four times that much.

00:33:51I bid $1.85.

00:33:52I...

00:33:54This is ridiculous.

00:33:56$1.85 bid for this valuable farm property.

00:33:59This sale can't go on.

00:34:00Come on.

00:34:01You know the law, Sheriff.

00:34:04Receive two bids, property must be sold.

00:34:07Who told you that?

00:34:09State law.

00:34:10Article 46, Section 3.

00:34:12Look it up.

00:34:17Pretty smart, ain't ya?

00:34:22All right.

00:34:23I bid $1.85 for this fine farm.

00:34:28Do I hear any other bid?

00:34:30The ridiculous low price of $1.85 bid for this wonderful farm.

00:34:36Come on, folks, bid.

00:34:38I gotta get more money than that for this wonderful place.

00:34:41We decided that since you started this thing and been bossing it, we wanted to give the farm to you.

00:34:46That's right.

00:34:48I ain't giving up, man, and I don't know how to thank you.

00:34:51But, uh, where'd you get the idea, anyway?

00:34:53Oh, tell us.

00:34:55Down in Iowa, they sold the farm for 95 cents.

00:34:59We hated to have to pay $1.85.

00:35:04Well, you're a great gang.

00:35:05And if we all stick together, we can put this thing over.

00:35:08Now, uh, what about food until the, uh, crops come through?

00:35:12Give me three minutes in the truck, and I'll go up on Table Mountain and bring back a whole load

00:35:16of apples.

00:35:16There's a farmer down the road who raises hogs.

00:35:19Maybe he'll give us some, and we'll pay him back after the harvest.

00:35:21We'll bring home the bacon.

00:35:23If my wife's rabbits keeps on multiplying, that'll help.

00:35:26Say, that's fine.

00:35:27Now we'll start the first thing in the morning.

00:35:34Come in.

00:35:41I saw the light burning. I hope you don't mind.

00:35:44Why, not at all.

00:35:47Say, what is this, a gangsta's hangout or something?

00:35:53Why, no, uh, we all work here. We're farmers.

00:35:59Say, where is this place?

00:36:01I've been driving around in that darn rain for about five hours.

00:36:04I must have taken the wrong road someplace.

00:36:06My old man got tanked up in the last town we came through.

00:36:09He did?

00:36:09Passed out in the back of the car.

00:36:12Probably drowned by now.

00:36:14Is that your car?

00:36:14Yeah.

00:36:16Say, would some of you fellas be good enough to bring him up here,

00:36:18so that he can catch his breath?

00:36:19Sure.

00:36:20Hey, come on, a couple of you big guys.

00:36:22Okay.

00:36:23Louie.

00:36:23Certainly.

00:36:24Where's Louie?

00:36:29I just went to get a drink.

00:36:31Oh.

00:36:32Come on.

00:36:32Well, come on, what are you waiting for?

00:36:34Let's go.

00:36:43Let's go.

00:36:44You, uh, go over there and dry yourself off.

00:36:46Boo!

00:36:57You better get the dock, Pike.

00:37:02This old guy was drunk.

00:37:04But he's dead now.

00:37:07Dead?

00:37:08Are you sure?

00:37:10Well, I guess I know a stiff when I see one, don't I?

00:37:15Hey, Pike!

00:37:17Wait a minute.

00:37:22Better get the undertaker instead.

00:37:24The undertaker.

00:37:30Hey, Spike!

00:37:31Give me a hand with this thing.

00:37:33We'll take it over to the barn.

00:37:35Okay.

00:37:50You're being awfully brave about this.

00:37:53Pop's not doing so bad out there.

00:37:56He always wanted to live on a hill.

00:38:13It's all right for me to stay here like you said it was last night.

00:38:16I'll...

00:38:16I'll go and unpack the lingerie.

00:38:29Maybe you ought to go in with her.

00:38:32I think she'd rather be alone.

00:38:36There was almost another funeral here yesterday.

00:38:40Louie caught Jake Wilder sneaking off the place with some community goods.

00:38:44He did?

00:38:44Yeah.

00:38:45Can you imagine the nerve of that guy?

00:38:47He was going to sell the stuff outside.

00:38:50Said his wife wanted a radio.

00:38:53Huh.

00:38:53We'd last about a week here at that rate.

00:38:56What did you do?

00:38:57Well, I...

00:38:57Warned him.

00:38:59But the next one that pulls anything like that gets out of here.

00:39:03Believe me.

00:39:28He seems to be feeling much better.

00:39:33Oh, well.

00:39:35He seems to be feeling much better.

00:39:41Well, I'll see you at last.

00:39:42I have kitchen duty today.

00:39:44All right.

00:39:52You won't be long, son.

00:40:06No...

00:40:06No second helpings today.

00:40:08Listen, chef, I'm not on a diet.

00:40:10You will be if they don't bring me something to cook.

00:40:12Is that the biggest hand-out we get?

00:40:14Five down.

00:40:15Five down.

00:40:16I do rather...

00:40:17Here.

00:40:18Thanks.

00:40:22How is she?

00:40:27Come on, I'm hungry.

00:40:35Well, move over.

00:40:43Sourpuss.

00:40:47Nice joint they got here.

00:40:49Yeah.

00:40:50Beautiful view.

00:40:54Great idea, this village.

00:40:57Swell chance for advancement.

00:40:59I'm going to open up a beauty par.

00:41:01It's got a special invite from the head man.

00:41:06Hey, what's eating your keck out your tongue?

00:41:12I don't know how long you're going to be here or why.

00:41:17That guy's married and you'll lay off.

00:41:23My gosh, ain't you anticipatory.

00:41:33One half bin of potatoes?

00:41:35Half a bin of potatoes.

00:41:37About a dozen onions.

00:41:39A dozen onions?

00:41:41Three quarters of a sack of beans.

00:41:43Gee, I got a kick out of it.

00:41:45A bushel of apples?

00:41:47Those men better show up for some fruit today.

00:41:49I always got more pep when I'm doing something.

00:41:52Come in.

00:41:56Hello.

00:41:58Hello, Louie.

00:42:02Three cans of tomatoes.

00:42:06How's it coming?

00:42:08Not so hot.

00:42:09We're hoping.

00:42:11Twelve pounds of sugar.

00:42:14Why?

00:42:15You got any ideas?

00:42:17No, not specially.

00:42:18I just wonder.

00:42:20Well, don't come around here making it any worse with that long face of yours.

00:42:24Sally.

00:42:27I guess what you need is some dough.

00:42:31Yeah.

00:42:32Wouldn't hurt.

00:42:35Six summer squashes.

00:42:40Two stacks of cornmeal.

00:42:50There's a swell guy.

00:42:52Oh, I don't like him.

00:42:54Get me the willies.

00:43:10That's enough.

00:43:12Hey.

00:43:14I want to know something, Chris.

00:43:16Sure.

00:43:17What?

00:43:18What's the lowdown on this food situation?

00:43:21Well, it don't looks good.

00:43:24And that's the truth.

00:43:25No chance of getting any anywheres?

00:43:28The men been out every day after rabbits and deer.

00:43:31You know as well as I do there's no more rabbits.

00:43:34And there ain't a deer in the county by this time.

00:43:36That's right, I guess.

00:43:38Hey.

00:43:40Take a look at this.

00:43:54You'll probably guess something like that about me.

00:43:57Yeah.

00:43:59But what's this got to do with our food?

00:44:02Five hundred dollars has got a lot to do with it.

00:44:04How?

00:44:05You and me are gonna take a trip into town.

00:44:08You're coming back with five hundred dollars without me.

00:44:13You get the reward for the camp, see?

00:44:17What do you think I am?

00:44:19The camp's gotta have food.

00:44:20There ain't a man in camp wouldn't rather starve than eat that way.

00:44:24Well, they'll get me anyway sooner or later.

00:44:27I've forgotten I ever see that paper.

00:44:30And that's the truth.

00:44:36Well, the corn baby has colic.

00:44:38See you later.

00:44:39Okay.

00:44:43Better be hit over the head than frightened to death.

00:44:49Your car running all right?

00:44:51I suppose so. Why?

00:44:54You and me are driving into town.

00:44:58What are we gonna do? Get married?

00:45:00No.

00:45:01You're gonna tell the sheriff that your name's Mrs. John Sims.

00:45:08The sheriff? Say what is this?

00:45:12I'll tell you later.

00:45:14Go get your car.

00:45:30Hello.

00:45:33Hello.

00:45:45What's on your mind?

00:45:49You know, Sally, this place has about got me down.

00:45:53Why, don't talk like that, honey.

00:46:01Come on, let you and me take a walk.

00:46:04That old moon will make you forget you ever had a worry.

00:46:11Won't you?

00:46:13Come on.

00:46:14Come on.

00:46:21That kettle player must feel romantic tonight.

00:46:26I always feel like I'm wasting something when there's a moon like that.

00:46:29Nothing's happening.

00:46:31That's funny.

00:46:32I've often felt that way, too.

00:46:34You know, you've been nice to me since I've been here.

00:46:37Oh.

00:46:37Yeah.

00:46:38You seem so different.

00:46:40You're not fresh at all.

00:46:42I think you're swell.

00:46:44I'm no different from anybody else.

00:46:46I think you are.

00:46:47I think you're a great guy.

00:46:49Yeah.

00:46:50That's what I used to think, too.

00:46:52But you can't buy food for a lot of hungry people just by being a great guy.

00:46:56It takes dough for that.

00:47:02You want this place to succeed more than anything else in the world, don't you?

00:47:05What do you think?

00:47:07Would you be awfully happy if you got a lot of money tonight?

00:47:11What's the gag?

00:47:12No gag.

00:47:20500.

00:47:21Where'd this come from?

00:47:24Oh, boy.

00:47:43Can you imagine?

00:47:45Doing this for us.
