This delightful cinematic adaptation of the 1945 classic by John Steinbeck stars Nick Nolte and Debra Winger as a carelessly romantic couple who experience the impoverished life of vagabonds. Doc (Nolte) is a marine biologist who just moved to Cannery Row, a rustic oceanside village. Before long, he discovers that the only local entertainment is the brothel. That's where he meets Suzy (Winger)--a spunky, husky-voiced wanderer--who makes Doc's life on the Row a whole lot brighter. But before long their romance turns sour. Everyone on the Row hopes they'll reconcile, especially since their love for each other is the most important thing either one of them has.
