Body and Soul (1947) This Morning!

[Mr. Arkadin]

One of John Garfield's most entertaining films, Body and Soul would influence boxing movies for the next thirty years. This was Garfield's biggest success, and gave him independance from major studios. It's also safe to say without Body and Soul later more influential works such as Force of Evil (1948) and He Ran All the Way (1951) could never have been made. The film boasts great casting and crew including Director Robert Rossen and Cameraman James Wong Howe. TCM has not shown this film in some time, so catch it if you can!
