These movies are great and stand the test of time because the writing, acting and directing are flawless, cunning and work together to overcome (or cleverly circumvent) the severe censorship in place at the time. Lana Turner accomplished with a 'look, a lipstick and white tap shorts' what today's so-called hotties can't come near if they stood stark naked in Grand Central Station at rush hour.
@ednuk My mother said they were true beauties back then and that the ones of today could not compare. Most if not all today have had the platic surgery to boot.
Lanna wasn't hot she was beautiful. That's the trouble wiith guys today. They think women are hot! When the hell did they stop being beautiful? Hot is an overplayed word for today. Bring back the beautiful women like Lana and Ava!!!!!!
Although this film was extremely well made with very talented people on both sides of the camera, it was Garfield that was its engine and he drove it right into its classic status today.
Couple of comments....(1)My late father who was around in this era told me that people (back then) picked up hitch hikers all the time and never worried about being killed or robbed. (2)This is really funny. He goes up to the cop and said "he slipped you something, hu"? (I.E. a bribe) If that was today the first thing the cop would say is "I want to see some ID", detain him and question him for 25 minutes, then drag him to jail on vagrency charges for being a wise ass...
I really love the opening theme music--very beautiful and of course the movie's a total classic.

I was so in love with John Garfield, a real girlhood crush. John and Andie Murphy.
What actors. Look at Spencer Tracey etc. Greats for all time.

I brought this movie home from the library and watched it every night all week - hooked by John Garfield whom I had never seen before.
