This is a biography of John Garfield that was made by Turner Entertainment. It talks about the life and career of John Garfield. It also, towards the end, talks about his problems during the Red Scare, as his left-wing politics were an excuse to hound him about communism. The film consisted of many interviews--most notably his youngest daughter--who really didn't know her father that well, as she was awfully young when he died at age 39. What a loss.
The film was well-made and entertaining. Interesting and filled with many interesting facts and anecdotes. My only complaint, and it's a small one, is that the film was so short. But, so was his life...so perhaps this is fitting.
By the way, if you wonder about Garfield's wife, she was alive in 2003 when the film came out but was suffering from Alzheimers--so she really was not available to participate in the film. She died a year later.
