Body and Soul (1947) Dir. Robert Rossen Written by Abraham Polonsky

Starring: John Garfield, Canada Lee, Hazel Brooks

“Since Garfield was working for his own company, he set his salary at a minimum. Garfield was the one who wanted me for Body and Soul. We made quite a number of pictures together, and in the course of them I came to understand how Johnny worked and how to photograph him. He liked the way I worked because I gave him a lot of freedom. I didn't put a lot of chalk marks on the floor for him to hit; I gave him a larger area to work in without being out of focus or out of his light. Worrying about things like that upset him, and he was afraid it would affect his performance.”
