The story takes place on a grungy street with "the gathered and scattered tin and iron and rust and splintered wood chipped pavement and weedy lots junk heaps sardine canneries of corrugated iron honky tonks restaurants and whore houses and little crowded groceries and laboratories and flophouses." The plot features an unlikely cast of characters including a marine biologist a grocer a restaurateur and a group of local vagabonds. Much of the inspiration for this novel and its 1954 sequel Sweet Thursday were drawn from the author's own life; Steinbeck was born in Monterey County grew up knowing fishermen and other laborers and was close friends with a marine biologist Ed Ricketts who worked on the real Cannery Row and served as the inspiration for the character Doc. .

He knew the fantastic stories about waitresses who became dramatic stars overnight but Norma didn't have the bubs for it he thought nor the legs. Norma's legs were like sticks. But then he knew about two or three picture stars who were so plain without make-up that no one would recognize them off the screen. He'd read about them. And Norma even if she didn't look it - well they could pad her out and if her cousin was Clark Gable why that was an "in" you couldn't beat. That was the breaks.". The Viking Press hardcover

1944WRCLIT60306Los Angeles: Paramount Pictures 1944. Two volumes each foliated in reel/page format as: 11097101110108 leaves. Quarto. Mimeographed typescript printed on rectos only. Second item stapled at left margin first formerly stapled. Some corner creases "Master File Copy" and production number stamps on title leaf of first item pencil annotations name and ink file number on title leaf of second. Very good. Two late production states of the script for the 1945 film based on a story idea by Jack Wagner cowritten with John Steinbeck and adapted as a screenplay by Frank Butler. The release dialogue script records a print totaling 51 more feet than the censorship script. Irving Pichel directed and Dorothy Lamour J. Carrol Naish and Arturo de Cordova led the cast. Obviously little apart from Steinbeck's treatment for the film the Valentine collection included a carbon typescript may be easily identified as purely Steinbeck's work; however nothing relating to the script saw lifetime publication so even continuity scripts such as these take on some significance for Steinbeck scholars.
