Leave your thoughts about Body and Soul.
| Chicago ReaderDave KehrTrite is hardly the word for the plot, which was already wheezy by the time this minor classic was made in 1947, but Abraham Polonsky's script brings such tight, painful focus to the moral choices that it seems fresh and real. |
| Combustible CelluloidJeffrey M. AndersonIf the movie works today, it's probably because of Abraham Polonsky's beautiful screenplay, a rich desert plate filled with glorious, lowdown street and sports prose. |
| Ozus' World Movie ReviewsDennis SchwartzNow only seems gripping because of Garfield's gritty performance. |
| Film InquiryTynan YanagaBody and Soul is a film not simply with gritty boxing scenes but also a fascinating character analysis indicative of the human condition. |
| User ReviewAnthony VGreat film noir. A fantastic quote from Garfield at the end. |
| User ReviewTene 3The mother of all boxing movies, and made by a brilliant left-winger to boot. What's not to love? |
| User ReviewJeremiah LHell of a boxing movie and you can see where the Raging Bull influence comes from. Great cinematography in the ring and it really gets you rooting for the match. |
| User ReviewD SIt's no Raging Bull, Million Dollar Baby, or any of the Rocky films, but Body and Soul is a wonderful boxing flick. I highly recommend this one. |
| User ReviewS LIt's no Raging Bull, Million Dollar Baby, or any of the Rocky films, but Body and Soul is a wonderful boxing flick. I highly recommend this one. |
| User ReviewKalvin LThis is a VERY different kind of boxing movie. Not your typical underdog story. |
