John

Welcome to the board Brigid. Everyone who posts here has basically seen all of Garfield's 35 or so films. He left us Way too soon. We all miss him. In fact everyone here loves old films. Hope you continue enjoying Garfield and all the other stars from the 30s and 40s. It was a special time.

I felt Pride Of The Marines was JG'S best film. I would also consider The Postman Always Rings Twice, Force Of Evil,and Body And Soul top notch.

I was gone Friday so i missed the Garfield festival...and I was not a happy camper...I have seen all the movies, and have most on DVR....I taped The Breaking Point, havent seen it in years...looking forward to seeing it...who hosted the the movies at night and did he or she say anything interesting about John Garfield??...and as always i never will tire of his movies because he was such a great actor and he made it look easy...he was that good, that charming, that tough...he was one in a million...there will never be another John Garfield!!!

Although I have every JG movie recorded, I still watched most of the festival! It had been awhile since I saw several of the films and it reminded me just how truly versatile and talented John Garfield was. As the day progressed and latter films were shown there was a more edgy dangerous Garfield, but he never lost that endearing vulnerability!

Hi All
Dennis: your right about what he says to Peg and in fact I did n t even hear the last line (near the car headlight)THANKS! As far as the locker number
, its funny when he first goes into the locker room he opens 166, then abruptly gets up goes into the bathroom rips open the suitcase stashes the money in his jacket pockets and then locks the stuff in locker 168

enjoy the TCM JG day!

How about the stock market!

Scary!

This is Lu. Just wanted to make it my business to post today. I am SO enjoying the John Garfield Marathon. I know that every so often on his birthday they show his movies but I will say also that this marathon is long overdue.

And I have said this before, it feels so good to know of this website and the wonderful people who post on it.

Even though I have most of these movies, they are in my garage. I will say also thank goodness, my VCR in my bedroom still works so I am taping a couple of movies there since the VCR downstairs doesn't at the moment work because nobody at the moment seems to know how to make the VCR work.

EVERYONE ENJOY!!!!!!

Hello everyone, it's been a while since I've posted on this site. I just saw "Juarez" with John playing Porfirio Diaz. I didn't realize it was him until I heard him speak...good movie. For those who don't know, TCM will be showing JG's movies all day this friday starting at 6am (PST.) It's a JG marathon, so, enjoy.

Hi, Karen, this is Lu. Glad to see you back. You had me worried being I see you always posting on this website and then, nothing for a long time which is unusual for you. Hope nothing was seriously wrong. Take care. Lu

Thanks all for caring! Lu, John, Dennis
Hi Barbara!
This site has the best people!
I m back
Last nite I watched He Ran All the Way
Garfield never looked so handsome! You would think he looked haggard giving the stress in his personal and professional life.

Quiz?? What was the locker number he stored the jacket full of cash in?
What was the last thing he said to Peg?

What a powerful performance! One of my favorites!

I have seen Robert Sklar in a few interviews concerning John Garfield...and yes he was quite informative. I would 100% agree about JG being the best actor after WW2...he was in some great movies...and he was tremendous in all of them.

I'm so sorry to hear the sad news about Robert Sklar. I read City Boys, and found it very informative.

Dennis, look under August 5th on TCM schedule, I found it! He will be on for almost 24 hours!

I have some sad news to share with all John Garfield fans. Film Historian Robert Sklar died a few days ago in Spain from injuries suffered in a bicycle accident. You might not recognize the name, but he wrote a wonderful study of John Garfield, James Cagney, and Humphrey Bogart called, "City Boys". There he asserts that John Garfield was quite possibly the finest actor in the five years following World War II. And with pictures like "Pride Of The Marines", "The Postman Always Rings Twice", "Body And Soul", and "Gentleman's Agreement", who could argue?

John, thank you for that information. I was really worried about her since we would see her posting a lot and now nothing. Karen, I am glad you are OK.

I am so glad to see postings again on this website. I hadn't seen any for a while and I was getting concerned. But as I will say again, I haven't seen Karen post in a long time. I hope she is OK.
