directed by Jean Negulesco
USA 1946
Many films from the mid-forties
deal with men struggling to readjust to their civilian lives
after their wartime service. NOBODY LIVES FOREVER offers
a twist: the hero's pre-war career was as a successful con
artist. He doesn't have any trouble getting his job back, but
does he still want it? World War II is a source of anxiety and
moral confusion in many postwar noirs, but this film (set during
the war) suggests that a stint with Uncle Sam can straighten out
a crooked guy. Excerpt of review from Imogen Sara Smith at imdb.com located HERE |

John Garfield seems to always get a short end of a stick on DVD. Warner never released his Signature Collection like they done with other Warner biggest stars (Humphrey Bogart, James Cagney, Errol Flynn, Bette Davis and Joan Crawford). Even now, we are yet to see John Garfield's own TCM Greatest Classic Legends Collection - Warner Home Video has been releasing them for other feature performers in the last 3 years. Thankfully, most of Garfield films has been released on DVD from Warner Archive Collection, including this Jean Negulesco-directed noir from 1946. Underrated Geraldine Fitzgerald makes a radiant love interest to Mr. Garfield. A remastered made-on-demand disc from Warner Film Noir Archive Collection has some marks and specks, but they are not intrusive and the progressive transfer has good contrast with very deep blacks. A 2-minute theatrical trailer is included as an extra and a mono soundtrack is decent. A must for any Garfield fan - hopefully Warner Home Video does not give on him and a full-blown collection of his films will get released for new generation of classic film fans to rediscover John Garfield. |
