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

I just wanted let everybody know a classic film called Come To The Stable starring Loretta Young is on wednesday tomorrow at 6am eatsern time on the Fox Movie Channel. This film is rarely shown so you must tape it.....
I don't believe Miss Young ever did a film with Garfield but this a must see for any classic movie fan. I hope I haven't posted this too late for you fans to see...

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.

Thanks Karen! Gonna watch "Dust be my Destiny" this afternoon. Never saw this before. Still haven't watched "Juarez" yet, the reviews don't sound promising,but I have to watch it to fullfill my goal.

Karen, Juarez was worse than East of the River!
Breaking Point was also a movie that starred Patrick Swayze which they may have shown due to his tragic death. However, it wasn't very good.
Ernest Hemingway thought "The Breaking Point" was his favorite movie made from any of his books! I love that movie!
Don't forget Dust Be My Destiny is on at 4:30pm on TCM today!

The other movie that critics said was a bad choice for JG was East of the River.
Barbara, you were correct on Between Two Worlds.
I found this in George Morris's book on JG.
I love Dust Be My Destiny! Can't wait to watch it again! 
Welcome Jimmy!

Hi, Gary, this is Lu. I just saw your posting about missing "Breaking Point" at the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado. I just wanted to ask you if that was John Garfield's movie? "His movie was titled "The Breaking Point". I think there was also another movie titled "Breaking Point" as well.

Just returned from the Telluride Film Festival in Colorado last weekend. There was a special screening of "Breaking Point". However, I missed it!!! Is there any JG fan that could provide a copy of the film via VHS or DVD as a personal appreciative favor???

Hi James,
Tomorrow afternoon Dust Be My Destiny is on! Just go to the main menu on this site and click on TV listings, also watch the video tribute on Garfield. It's all on the main menu of this site. I watched Juarez last night, but even though I love JG he was terrible miscast. He was an actor who didn't belong in costume movies, he was too current! Too urban!
This has nothing to do with the site, but yesterday at my public library I saw a lecture and slide show on Coney Island, it was so interesting!
