    John Garfield was always one of my favorites. He made good money during the depression but fed many people & helped them pay their bills & keep a roof over their heads instead of living a lavish lifestyle . A heart of gold & a great human being as well as a great actor. One of a kind.

    John Garfield, what a brilliant actor and true friend. Sadly died when he was 39yrs old. The movie studios blacklisted him during the McCarthy hearings for not implicating others. He was never a communist but unfortunately never worked again. He made some of the best movies ever in his short life. Watch anything with him in it, he was amazing.

    John Garfield (1913 - 1952) was born Jacob Julius Garfinkle which made his change of name for movies very understandable. Born in New York, he made his Broadway debut in 1932 and shifted to Hollywood in 1937 and made an early big impression being nominated for a the Best Supporting Actor Oscar in 1938 for his role in Four Daughters. He had a difficult relationship with Warners and was frequently suspended be cause he didn't like the roles he was offered. A bad heart prevented him from war service but he made several semi-propaganda films such as Air Force and Destination Tokyo (both 1943) which were successes. He moved into major motion pictures after the war including The Postman Always Rings Twice with Lana Turner (1921 - 1995) and Humoresque (both 1946) with Joan Crawford (1904 - 1977) and he received an Oscar nomination for Best Actor Oscar for his role in Body and Soul (1947). He fell foul of the red scare campaign in the early 1950s and was blacklisted by the major studios. He denied being a communist or sympathiser but his wife was a party member. He was found dead one morning after playing tennis the prior afternoon. Garfield's funeral in New York was the largest since Rudolf Valentino's (1895 - 1926) with more than 10,000 people crowding the streets for the service.

    The boxer he fights is Frank Riggi. Frank Riggi grew up on an onion farm near Mount Angel Oregon. His sister was Lena Riggi. She later married and became Lena Basilone. The wife of John Basilone. Both were Non commissioned officers in WW2 in the Marine Corps. John Basilone was from New Jersey and was awarded the Congressional Medal of Honor on Guadalcanal. He took part in a war bond drive, then volunteered to serve in combat again. Gunnery Sgt. John Basilone was killed in action on Iwo Jima and awarded the Navy Cross.
    I love this movie. Yes, partly because my Grandpa (Okinawa veteran) grew up with the Riggi family. But the movies were fantastic with good stories and talented actors. We all owe the greatest generation a debt of gratitude. That debt can only be paid by taking the time to learn their history. Not only about the war or the Great Depression but taking the time to watch the movies of the era. Even if they aren’t your first choice. Do yourself a favor and watch the films. They are entertaining and it will help keep their memories alive.

      Great background on the web around this film, long one of my favorites. It was very hard to find for a long time, was only available as part of a 3 DVD set with maybe The Stranger and another movie, a cheap "film noir" set. But was glad to have it! Most people focus on Cagney, Bogart, Edward G., even George Raft, and forget about Garfield. He was the most real of any of them and had roles the equal of the others, even surpassing them many times.
      A crackerjack movie this one!

    They Made Me a Criminal is a 1939 American crime drama film directed by Busby Berkeley and starring John Garfield, Claude Rains, and The Dead End Kids. It is a remake of the film The Life of Jimmy Dolan (1933). The film was later featured in an episode of Cinema Insomnia. Portions of the film were shot in the Coachella Valley, California ~
    Johnnie Bradfield (John Garfield) is a southpaw world champion boxer falsely accused of murder. He disappears and is presumed dead. The only witnesses who could have exonerated him were his manager and girlfriend, both of whom have died in an automobile accident. Detective Monty Phalen (Claude Rains) believes that Johnnie is still alive and hasn't given up on searching for him. Johnnie, meanwhile, is hiding out on Grandma Rafferty's (May Robson) farm in Arizona. There, he meets up with some juvenile delinquents, Tommy (Billy Halop), Angel (Bobby Jordan), Spit (Leo Gorcey), Dippy (Huntz Hall), T.B. (Gabriel Dell), and Milty (Bernard Punsly), who are under the guardianship of Tommy's sister Peggy (Gloria Dickson).
    ~
    Johnnie, using the fake name of Jack Dorney, takes Tommy under his wing and encourages him to go in business for himself by buying a gas pump for the farm. He helps the kids raise money by returning to the boxing ring for a match against an up-and-coming boxer. Johnnie sees Phalen arriving at the fight and decides not to fight, disappointing the kids and Peggy. However his determination to help the kids overcomes him and he decides to fight. He tries to hide who he really is by not using his trademark stance in the ring, but not being a good right handed fighter, he is on the verge of losing. Because of this, Johnnie reveals who he really is, although he is still defeated in the fifth round. He surrenders to Phalen, but the detective allows him to remain in Arizona instead of returning to New York. ~~~

      Not sure why you added this spoiler summary, but Garfield character didn't just "disappear". He was presumed dead in a car wreck, his "body" too badly burned to be identified. So he was presumed to be dead. But the amateur photo taken by one of the boys showed up in a paper and Phelan recognized Garfield's boxing posture. That is what led Phelan to go looking for him, he didn't just show up at the boxing match.
      These were a couple of key points you left out.
      Excellent movie!

Claude Rains the actor who played Detective Phelan, was almost blind in one eye because of an injury received in a gas attack during World War I. John Garfield was blacklisted during the McCarthy "Red Scare" era in the early 1950s for his left-wing political beliefs, he adamantly refused to "name names" in testimony before the House Un-American Activities Committee (HUAC) in April 1951.

      It was blackmail by the criminal lawyer who was in the film the murderer who murdered the Newspaper Joe. So it's $9,750 dollar for the Lawyer to aid and abet and stop the hot seat burning a hole in the boxer's trouser seat. IE the lie the criminal lawyer blackmailer is telling is that his great kind act of friendship is at the price of his arse being culpable as well and so he can also have his arse fried.

    Changing one's birth name is like slapping your parents in the face. It's disrespectful and unnecessary. This is especially true if it's done for the anticipation of greater recognition and or financial gain. It's like selling-out, to perhaps an Agent or Studio Mogul, while at the same time being ashamed of your Father.
