Part social criticism, part romance… Harold Clurman credits Rocket to the Moon with containing Odets’ most brilliant writing: “Love in its broadest sense, is a constant in all Odets’ writing, the very root of his talent.” A struggling dentist, his grieving wife, her manipulative father and a naive young office assistant come together to give unique voice to feelings of failure, deferred dreams and human yearning in a story as universally poignant today as it was when it was written.
