Cannery Row is a 1982 American comedy-drama film directed by David S. Ward in his directorial debut, starring Nick Nolte and Debra Winger. The movie is adapted from John Steinbeck's novels Cannery Row (1945) and Sweet Thursday (1954).
Production
Otto Preminger was going to make a film version of the novel from a script by Wendell Mayes but the projected ended after difficulties over the rights.
Raquel Welch was originally cast as Suzy DeSoto but was fired after the first few days of production and replaced by actress Debra Winger, who was 15 years her junior. Welch sued the filmmakers for breach of contract. In the case, MGM claimed Welch was fired for being a "temperamental actress" whose behavior caused the film to go overbudget.
