Great bang of an opening with Waxman's heart pounding theme. Motherly love and a few," scram, blow" and a slap. Continues with the big score set up in all of one minute and the movie is off and running. I like Garfield better when he is not cringing and weak. I guess I just like my leading men in control and tough. Garfield is more scared than tough so far, but I can't wait to see what the rest of the movie holds.
It's hard to pick his best performance, because the most he might be accused of is having sometimes been miscast, like most actors in the studio system sometimes were.
I'll give the critics JUAREZ. Otherwise, he was simply a genius, and Warner Brothers never found out about it.
The "Big Three" at Warners. Steiner, Korngold and Waxman. Their scores alone are worth listening to, although most of the movies are worth watching, also.

The ensemble acting in this film is superb. This is probably John Garfield's best performance, although
"Postman" with Lana Turner is my favorite film of his.

What an opening! All underpinned by the urgency of Franz Waxman's score
