"Body and Soul" a good movie
Image
"Body and Soul" tells the story of Charles Davis (an excellent John Garfield), a young man who does well hitting the amateur circuit, and his main goal is to get the championship belt, he intends to leave poverty and an uncertain future (the American dream), he gives himself to it, body and soul until he gets it.
This is where the problems begin, because it is when the champagne runs in cascade, the bottles smoke like guns and a club singer approaches swinging her waist, the kitten pretends to fish his wallet, but first she makes him tender.
"It doesn't matter where his heart is, but his money" she assures him, and Charlie blinded by fame and money, becomes an arrogant guy who has forgotten his past and those who esteem him.

Now he is a money-making machine (moral ruin), who does not know his mother, nor his girlfriend (Lilli Palmer), a painter of serene beauty who abandoned Charlie when he entered the sinister world of corrupt "managers" who traffic in human beings.
There is a moment when she slaps him, voice out loud, for the years of happiness, for the broken promises, and for the lonely nights.
And for many more things that do not fit in this review, you have to see this film by Rossen, a creator of those days.
From when good films were still being made and the social conscience of the boxing world was beginning to be denounced.
