Without "The First Rebel" John Garfield there is no Montgomery Clift, Marlon Brando, James Dean ... I will remember you!

For anyone who wants They Made Me A Criminal on DVD it is readily available as a cheapo DVD at any dollar store. One of the few Garfield DVDS readily available that are inexpensive. The TCM print of the movie which I saw last night is much better.Claude Raines was the best in the movie according to Garfield who really liked this movie himself. On the other hand, Raines didn't think too highly of it.....My rating of this movie on a 1-10 scale, I give it an 8. Definitely worthy of a viewing if you are Garfield and Raines fans. Ann Sheridan receives about 10 minutes of screen time and is killed off early....

Hi,,yesterday I went to the photo store to print out a real nice JG photo that I wanted in an 8" by 10" photo that I could frame,I was not sure how to use the machine,so there was a woman who showed my how to do it and when she saw the photo, she said that it looks like JG,I told her it was and she was like WOW,,so sinced she was doing it for me,I asked her if she wanted to print one for herself and she asked if she could make two because she had a friend who was into him also into him. I felt real good when I left the store. This was just a little story I wanted to share. Rocky

If anyone hasn't seen Murder My Sweet, it's a great film noir on at 6pm on TCM. I just went to a lecture on violence, gangsters and the "hays" censorship at the library! Very good film clips, unfortunately none of JG!

Hi, Barbara, this is Lu. Thank you very much for that information. I will relay that information to my husband. Oh, so Joseph Pevney directed Star Trek episodes and he recently passed away. Actually, I was thinking of John Garfield's earlier movies. Thanks again.

Hi Lu, It was Joseph Pevney from Body and Soul! He played Shorty and he directed many Star Trek episodes among other things which I forget. He died in April, he was 96

Barbara: On an earlier posting (9/16), you asked a question about an actor who recently died was very connected with Star Trek and was "second banana" to John Garfield but you didn't give an answer. My husband, Jim, is mostly curious because he is a huge Star Trek follower and of course myself, are wondering who that actor is. I told him, you didn't say he starred in it just was very connected. I am curious too, as to whom he was since he played in one of John Garfield's movies since I don't recall anybody in that category.

Hi,saw Juarez yesterday,was pretty good for a period piece. Great assortment of actors. JG looked great, just not enough of him!
Also, watched Dust Be My Destiny. A great movie with a wonderful cast.
Here's my question: Was Mabels last name the same as the author of the book,Jerome Odlum? Sounded very much like it. Please tell me your thoughts.
Have a great Day!

Rocky, I'm glad you received the CD! I thought JG was great. Did you listen to the one with Jack Carson, it was good, but no way as animated as JG's story. I would imagine he did it for his children! He was so ahead of his times, though Sinatra also did "The House I Live In" short which was great too!
I watched Dust Be My Destiny again, I just thought the chemistry between Lane and Garfield was great, they were so young and JG had the title "Depression's Child" and it fit him to a glove!
Kay, don't worry I've been kind of lazy too, I hope all is well. Don't work too hard! I love all my friends on this website, I feel as though we are are old friends, even though we have never met!
Last night I watched Wuthering Heights for the 100th time, I never tire of it. It's so romantic! Take care everyone!

I think JG did the story for his daughter and also because he believed in what it said.
When I was a child i listened to a radio show which had a lot of 'stories" and i actually remember this one - one of 3 of all the ones played. Not knowing at the time who did read them but they all had to be read by various actors.
Just like many do audio books today and also children's stories.
And Barbara - yes I'm still around - just been very busy (or lazy) and I will write before long.
