He was a genius, and Warner Brothers knew it. But they didn't know what to do with him. You might never have heard of Mitchum, Brando, Dean and Clift in the same way. You would have heard of all of them, but not in the same way.
Garfield would be 99 years old in March of this year. It's an old battle.
John Garfield and incredible actor. So underrated but wonderfully talented. He made some really good films: The Postman Always Rings Twice the original version is something to see! Humouresque with Joan Crawford another terrific film. Body and Soul the original version! and many more. Sadly John was a victim of the McCarthy era when Hollywood was finding communists all over the place. John was used as an example even though he was never found to be a commie., A sad & distasteful time.
Does anybody know something about Garfield's coming to Yugoslavia during the war and his meeting with Josip Broz Tito? I can't find anything about that.
You guessed right, and so did most in the audience probably, but they didn't guess the double-cross played on Garfield. Rent it and watch the fight. Quite something. Especially the aftermath.

He was sensational! I love him in 'They Made Me A Criminal.' He was attractive in a rugged way.

He sure was. Unfortunately, Warner Brothers mostly wasted him. They didn't know what they had.
