Have You Ever Seen28 Jul 2023

Body And Soul

John Garfield didn't even live to see 40, but he DID make several good films in the '40s. In Body And Soul, he's a decent guy who finds himself in a love triangle and makes many bad career decisions. It's the age-old story of a boxer who gets mixed up with the wrong people. Robert Rossen's acclaimed picture isn't remarkably original, but it's a well-made film. The man who directed The Hustler knew what he was doing when it came to putting sports on the silver screen. Ryan's monologue also gets into Rossen's ties to Communism and how he named names to HUAC. Body And Soul's cast and production team had a whole whack of people who leaned red, in fact. So grow a conscience as you fight for your life in this brief 527th one-man podcast.
