Gary,

Thank you for the wonderful post on Moviephone.

My thanks also to one of John Garfield's greatest fans (Dennis on this site), from whom I learned about your lovely tribute.

This was a great, but tough, week for those who admire Garfield.

I think the high points for us were the postings made by Julie Garfield, and the fact that a knowlegeable individual such as yourself would take the time to post something so thoughtful.

All of us here love John Garfield and film noir, so please check back to see what real fans of the genre and, more importantly, the man are saying.

Hi, Dennis, Karen, Barbara and everyone else. This is Lu. I must commend Dennis and everyone else who has taken up Lori's cause about getting our BELOVED HERO, JOHN GARFIELD rediscovered or discovered by the people of today.

I am truly sorry that I haven't been any help. But it has been hard for me since my husband has been recovering from the slight stroke almost three years ago.

I am in AWE when I read ALL the things that Dennis is doing, thank you SO MUCH. But right now I am trying to get things organized here and me as well since my husband finished his therapy. I am tired especially at night.

I apologize again for not contributing something. I hope Barbara is doing OK with the supposed storm that we are supposed to be having since Long Island was supposed to get it the worst and of course everyone else.

Dennis, I wanted to ask you where you found Lana Turner's picture on the AOL Homepage. I went on their Homepage but could not find it. When I get a chance I will go on the websites that are mentioned but right now I am busy doing a LOT of paper work. And as I mentioned previously I don't have a car so all my errands are done with a LOT of walking and waiting for buses and that can be very tiring.

It was WONDERFUL seeing Julie Garfield's postings. I hope she continues.

Just watched Blackwell's Island. Was that film a comedy? Really bad film but Garfield held his own and kept me interested. I would have not made it through whole the movie if Garfield wasn't it. I only saw the last 45 mins on TCM a few years back. I finally taped it this time and watched it in full. So that completes my Garfield films, seen every one of them completely now. Many of them three or more times.

Dennis, it just shows where there is a will, there is a way! I appreciate all the great emails you have sent me over the past few days! Great articles!

I just heard Alvin Lee from 10 Years After just passed away from complications during routine surgery! RIP. I remember seeing them at Woodstock, what a show they put on!

Congratulations on all your efforts to secure recognition for John Garfield, Dennis! I only wish Lori was here to celebrate with all of us!

By the way, there is a great Ida Lupino movie on at 10pm "the Hard Way". If you haven't seen it, it's well worth your time!

So happy to see Julie Garfield posting!!! HAPPY BIRTHDAY TO MY ALL TIME FAVORITE ACTOR AND TOME THE BEST EVER ACTOR JOHN GARFIELD!!! I taped all the movies and watched them again. Because I never tire of JG films. TCM should be ashamed only showing those 6 movies...what an injustice...Hope one day JG gets the recognition he truly deserves!!!

I just saw now, that Julie Garfield left two postings on this website. I couldn't believe it. She actually wrote on this website.

Ms. Garfield, I will always remember the posting you wrote to me on this website when we were both moving five and a half years ago. You said you were very touched by what I wrote.

As I mentioned in an earlier posting today that I was busy helping my husband this morning and didn't see Ms. Garfield's posting until now.

As I have mentioned, I am kind of wary of going on Facebook because of what I have heard. So I hope you will see my postings here and let me know that you have read them.

I was on TCM watching his movies today and never have I seen any of his movies advertised. In fact, I was playing the dvd of Four Daughters and I couldn't believe I was actually watching the trailer for it which I have NEVER seen on TCM.

I know I keep saying this over and over like all of you but I CANNOT believe how they treat him. IT'S A SHAME!!!!!I just don't understand it even his former studio Warner Brothers didn't include him in their 90th Anniversary documentary.

While I am typing this I am listening to Julie Garfield's interview with Kim Morgan, we have dial-up so the sound goes on and off and the picture stops and goes. I play music like that as well. Ms. Garfield, like I mentioned before, I hope we see more of your postings on this website.

Ms. Garfield, did you go visit your father's grave. I think Karen mentioned that she wanted to do that some time. That would be wonderful unfortunately I don't have a car so that wouldn't be easy for me. But I do think about it when I happen to be riding in somebody's car which isn't too often.

And of course, HAPPY 100th BIRTHDAY!!!!! WE LOVE YOU!!!!!!!!

To our BELOVED STAR, JOHN GARFIELD, Rest In Peace. I watched all your movies today that TCM chose to run. I am watching you and thinking about this website and hope you know how much you are LOVED. Like Dennis, Karen, Barbara and our wonderful friend who so suddenly passed away, Lori, I cannot believe how you are treated. It is a SHAME because you are just as talented as the "stars" that they advertise on TCM, maybe even more so and you had SUCH integrity. God Bless you and rest in peace.

Happy Birthday John Garfield! You are not forgotten! We love you!

So nice to see you online, Julie! Is there anyway we can see your Q&A without actually being at the Friar's?

Karen

Just to add....I don't feel going to the site findagrave is morbid.
Today John Garfield is the most popular search on that site!
There are a lot of fans saying wonderful things about him.
RIP Mr. Garfield

Dr. Fox, I just read what you wrote. To me it's so sad to see how in this country there is not enough respect for history. Which is why we do stupid things like tear down Penn Station...one of the most gorgeous buildings in NY.
My father lived a too short amount of time to make a big enough impact, even though he so deserved it, over many who got so much more.He had a passion for the work, for people, for justice and integrity. He was a most unusual man, and I am proud to be his kid. I can't understand why tcm is showing my least favorite of his films today. And only during the day. What a pity.

Hi Everyone!
Happy Birthday Dad! And thank you all for your love and devotion.
I have the TV on and on Wednesday The Friars Club will Honor my father by showing my favorite film, BODY AND SOUL, and then I'll do a Q&A.
Wish you all could be there.
Wish Lorraine was around.

Hi everyone, this is Lu. Been busy today helping my husband. Am currently watching Pride Of The Marines.

Just wanted to let you know that I read one of Dennis' postings and I wrote a post myself, completely agreeing with him unfortunately something happened with my computer and lost it all.

Yes, I TOTALLY agree, our BELOVED star again got the shaft on his 100th birthday. I will write more tonight.

Just wanted to say maybe Lori is actually with him up in Heaven and celebrating with him his birthday and telling him all about us down here watching his movies and writing on this website which is devoted to him on how DISAPPOINTED WE ARE ON HOW TCM TREATS HIM!!!!! I will write more later. I was up this morning watching his movies.

WE LOVE YOU AND MISS YOU, JOHN GARFIELD!!!!
