I am so excited that the day for John Garfield: The Original Rebel Blogathon has finally arrived!! I can't wait to read all the Garfield love! Since I saw him in Four Daughters (1938) I've been mesmerized by this man and I hope that some of you have discovered or rediscovered just how amazing he is!!
