	Humoresque
		John Garfield, a brilliant and vastly under-appreciated actor, stars as Boray, and his performance is shaded with nuance and realism not often seen in motion pictures made during the 1940s.

		Because Garfield did not know how to play the violin, he was shown in close-up with the violin tucked under his chin while one violinist {who stood out of view} played the part of his right arm and another violinist {again out of view} played his left.

		Garfield's background as a slum-raised child of immigrants helped contribute to his image as an anti-hero and he excelled at playing tough urban figures in socially conscious dramas such as "Body and Soul" (1947) and "Force of Evil" (1948).
