Overlooking the fact that the picture was made at a time when people weren't worried about political correctness, the casting and the storyline are so blatantly offensive that I couldn't enjoy the picture. Hedy Lamarr can "almost" pull this off, but John Garfield and even worse = A brown faced Spencer Tracy with a gawd-awful accent. The latino population of Tortilla Flats is extremely stereotypical. Maybe I wasn't in the mood to watch this film, but the casting - regardless good or bad - ruined what may have been a good film.
