This documentary looks at the life and career of John Garfield, whose career was cut short when he died at age 39. His difficult childhood in the rough neighborhoods of New York City provided the perfect background for the tough-guy roles he would play on both stage and screen.

Viewing Notes
A nice documentary on actor John Garfield which originally aired on TCM in 2003, but is also included on The Postman Always Rings Twice DVD. Interesting to learn he was one of the founding members of the method group and a victim of the House Unamerican Activities Committee. He died much too young at the age of 39.
