Body and Soul is a 1947 American film noir sports drama directed by Robert Rossen and starring John Garfield, Lilli Palmer, Hazel Brooks, Anne Revere, and William Conrad.[5] The screenplay by Abraham Polonsky is partly based on the 1939 film Golden Boy.[6] With cinematography by James Wong Howe, the film is considered by some to be one of the best films about boxing.[7][8] It is also a cautionary tale about the lure of money—and how it can derail even a strong common man in his pursuit of success. The film uses the song Body and Soul for the main musical theme and underscoring throughout.
