		Body and Soul is a loose adaptation of the 1947 classic starring John Garfield, though beyond the fact the lead characters are boxers named Charlie, the two films have little in common.
		The point of the film is that the Champ's reckless actions had gotten himself into a no-win situation: either he would throw the fight and lose his integrity or he would not throw the fight and would lose his life.
		The film is edited brilliantly, and the life and death battle at the film's climax is particularly brutal and exciting.

	bodyandsoul
		Robert Rossen's Body and Soul becomes more than a boxing and film noir tale, as screenwriter Abraham Polonsky makes this into a socialist morality drama where the pursuit of money becomes the focus that derails the common man in his quest for success.
		Body and Soul won an Oscar for Best Film Editing for Robert Parrish (it should be noted that Francis Lyons assisted as the supervising editor), while Garfield was nominated as Best Actor and Polonsky for Best Original Screenplay.
		Body and Soul viewed at this late date lacks much relevancy and now only seems gripping because of Garfield's gritty performance, and not because of the intense script that once made waves in powerful circles.

		There are two versions of the film on the disc: a 4:3 full frame version and a 16x9 widescreen anamorphic version.
		Films under five are generally awful even if you like that kind of film, equivalent to about one and a half stars from the critics or less, depending on just how far below five the rating is.

	Body And Soul Movie Review (1947) from Channel 4 Film
		104 minutes, USA (1947), PG The template for all subsequent pugilist-with-a-conscience flicks.
		Excellent account of ambitious boxer Garfield clambering his way to the top and selling his soul in the process.
		As a boxing movie it is probably responsible for coining a host of clichés but the fight of the little man against big business is convincingly told and Garfield is credible in the lead.

	Abraham Polonsky
		Among his most famous works as a screenwriter is the classic boxing film BODY AND SOUL (1947), directed by Robert Rossen.
		The film failed badly both with the critics and the public.

		This riveting 1947 drama, arguably the greatest boxing movie of all time, centers on a former pugilist who looks back on his life in and out of the ring and realizes that self-respect is a more important prize than winning.
		Although not the first Hollywood film about winning and losing in the boxing world, and saddled with the genre's familiar clichés, Garfield's engaging performance makes Body and Soul tower above nearly all other films of its kind.
		The fight sequences were filmed on roller skates with a hand-held camera, adding a realism that strengthens the film's standing as a masterpiece.

	Eleven FIlms by Robert Wise (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-24)
		Wise's film is a visual feast, at once a prime example of noir stylistics – the defining shadows and tortured compositions are all there, yet remarkably fresh – and a sly undercutting of its conventions.
		Wise's brilliance in this film is that he's able to balance, at all times, the psychological integrity of Tierney's character with a penetrating commentary on it, and the broader social values it embodies, through increasingly over-the-top plot developments and a visual style to match, simultaneously masterful and ironic.
		Most "musical" films jettison all but the most popular songs from the original score, then dole out a song maybe once every fifteen or twenty minutes (the economics of that stinginess are self-evident, but the adaptation from Broadway to Hollywood always suffer).

		Robert Rosen's 1947 film about the world of boxing was the original classic-one that introduced an uncompromising realism to the fight sequences, that would only be matched by Scorsese,some 33 years later.
		Body and Soul was Robert Rosen's second film as director after a screenwriting background that included The Strange Love of Martha Avers and The Treasure of the Sierra Madre.
		A victim of the paranoid witch hunts, his work was deeply affected by the trauma and not until his 1961 film The Hustler, would he once more achieve critical acclaim.

	Body And Soul on DVD
		If Body And Soul is the best pre-Rockyboxing flick, it's because Garfield is so great a part of it.
		The film is formula, and yet extremely personal; Charlie Davis' life, clichés and all, is Garfield's.
		But despite their enormous contributions, Body And Soul with, say, Kirk Douglas or Burt Lancaster or Robert Mitchum in the lead, fails to resonate in quite the same way.

		But the single word which dominates the script is 'money', and it soon emerges that this is a socialist morality on Capital and the Little Man - not surprising, given the collaboration of Rossen, Polonsky (script) and Garfield, all of whom tangled with the HUAC anti-Communist hearings (Polonsky was fllisted as a result).
		A curious mixture: European intelligence in an American frame, social criticism disguised as noir anxiety (the whole film is cast as one long pre-fight flashback).
