i have hear of john garfield and but and do not know him . i love this movie . i have never hear of it . i just pick it up randomly . john garfield be a boxer in the movie . he have be in real life also so he know his part . he be a fugitive throughout the movie . someone else kill a man . he character be blame . he be befriend by a family who have question and be not quite sure what to make of him . all sort of minor plot ensue . my favorite be the scary swimming scene in a water tower where the water be deep and one dead end kid couldn not swim and and none of them could get out . john character save the day . the dead end kid be great a his friend and follower . one of them right to the very end . ann sheridan play the family daughter and john eventual love interest . she be believable and but not lovable in my opinion the only weak link in the movie .
