He was no Huntz Hall....but I must admit, the late great Mr Garfield was indeed one gifted actor !

This is well worth viewing for the fan or fans of John Garfield.

As a kid, watching old movies on TV, to me John Garfield was mesmerizing. I never understood why I was so caught up by him, but he definitely had a special quality that kept me fascinated. Today, I recognize it was because he was different from most actors of the time period...more intense, more real...just a great actor who was totally convincing in whatever role he played.

John Garfield : Impressive in « The Postman Always Rings Twice » A classic !! His best film, I guess. I have watched it so many times !!

Marlon Brando can thank John Garfield for his career

He has a large loyal following even among the younger generation. He should have a star on the walk of fame if he doesn't already.

why? that's no mark of success at all ... in fact, it's a joke

Body and Soul is my favorite John Garfield performance too. And my favorite film he was in. Canada Lee was also excellent in it!

Gosh, John Garfield, he was the best. I use to sit on the stoop of the Gramercy Park apartment building where he died when I was a kid.

Do you know which apartment he died in? I know Iris Whitney lived there.

Force of evil, a true classic, just viewed it for the umpteenth time, the dialog is verse.

LOVE THIS GUY

So awesome this interview! Thx!

A wonderful actor.

cool video you have here, very powerful stuff.

Younger generation? believe me they dont know show he is...His life in movies and personal life would be a great Hollywood movie...rags to richs story...and boy does he deserve it!!!

I think in that era he was about the greatest actors actor around.awefull shame he died so young

He was only 39 when we lost him.

He was a thorn in the side of the establishment: "Garfield was perhaps the best known and most successful actor to be totally blacklisted in the industry. His prominence, swagger and outspoken advocacy of various left-wing causes had long made him a bête noir of the extreme right, especially its anti-Semitic elements, who liked to point out Garfield’s birth name."

There's only one Johnny G!!! Love you Julie.

Julie Garfield is telling stories about Joan Crawford that she couldn't possibly know, and some of which clearly aren't true. She was born in January of 1946, just before Crawford and Garfield made "Humoresque," so everything she says is second-hand. Crawford adored Garfield and working with him, and said so to anyone who would listen, until the day she died, so the "Tell him to stop looking at me" anecdote seems apocryphal. A far as bringing "her kids, wearing Mary-Jane's" to the beach scene of "Humoresque," in 1946, Crawford had only two kids, and one of them was a boy who was only four years old, so it's doubtful that he was wearing girls' shoes, or was old enough to be traumatized by a scene that was hardly racy. There are two true things that can be said about Crawford and Garfield: they had respect for each other as performers, and they had a sexual affair during the filming of their one very memorable movie together.

Rafael Storm Correction, Crawford adopted four children. Christina, Christopher, & the twins, who were not old enough to be there. Nor were you. Julie Garfield was told those stories, & also recounting HER own personal experiences. You seem to be looking at it from a purely Joan Crawford fan perspective. There are many perspectives. That of the actual participants, are the only perspectives that counts.

To be fair to his daughter , she did say that Joan came to really like John Garfield during shooting . I tend to discount 2nd hand stories about deceased people as well

I suspect her mother knew Joan Crawford as well. Her mother is seen in many photos at Hollywood parties and red carpet events. She knew many of the same people as Garfield did.

All these great artist, like John Garfield, who were tortured by these criminals .. whoever was responsible for this witch hunt ,should have been hung,every single one of them ..surely karma caught up to the malicious, sick bastards,who destroyed these entertainers lives - but this evil act,couldn't take away the memory of the great artistry, from the actors, writers and so forth, they'll be remembered always - and John Garfield one of the best, ever

I love John Garfield movies,he was a great actor,one of the very best,I always felt tho that he had a troubled soul,I cd sense that thru his acting. Maybe I'm wrong,he left us way to soon God Bless you John

How sad it was John's fate was so adversely affected by the U.S. Government, who damaged his acting career. But had he lived beyond the early 1950's, he would have been on top again as his skills in his last film, He Ran All The Way, clearly show. This was his best film and yet I saw it for the first time today and I am almost sixty. How ironic that he was wrongly thought to be a communist by members of the federal government and then harassed by the FBI. It is ironic that how the communists did come to power in Obama and Hillary and their like. I doubt Garfield would have had any use for them.

the daughter like christina is wrong!!1 unbelievable

The interviewer is not good. In fact, she's not good at all. Who cares about his infidelities?

I do. So do a lot of people. He slept with any woman who crossed his path. Script girls, starlets, top actresses, girls at drive ins. It’s a part of who he was, a big part.

What did the interviewer do wrong? She barely spoke, which is excellent interviewing.
