Never heard anything on this, but I feel it's one of the underrated gems of the fifties. There's an added sense of poignancy and loss viewing this film, along with Garfield's last He Ran All the Way, that comes with the knowledge of the sad fate that would soon befall the actor.
What are the chances of WB eventually shining their "Signature Collection" light on their forgotten "tough guy"? Perhaps we could see that set include a mix of Garfield's better solo material as well as his stellar ensemble work. Perhaps five or so of these titles:
Four Daughters (1938)
Daughters Courageous (1939)
Dust Be My Destiny (1939)
Saturday's Children (1940)
Castle on the Hudson (1940)
The Sea Wolf (1941)
Out of the Fog (1941)
Tortilla Flat (1942)
The Fallen Sparrow (1943)
Pride of the Marines (1945)
The Breaking Point (1950)
