[Note: The emotionally-brooding film told only a small portion of Steinbeck""s work, roughly adapting only the final third of the novel (Chapters 39-55) and leaving out the childhood of the parents and the Chinese character of Lee, he Trask family servant.The dinosaurs were very realistically-rendered and seamlessly integrated within live-action sequences.The Boy""s prank backfired miserably when the second cop - the Law (Noah Young) - became enraged over the failed practical joke.In the suite, they stash the suitcase in the large vault in the room.A Russian exiled waiter, Count Alexis Rakonin (Gregory Gaye), who is preparing the room""s breakfast table, overhears Iranoff""s phone conversation with a Parisian jeweler named Mercier (Edwin Maxwell).
