Terrific original vintage 1940's CANDID photo of screen star JOHN GARFIELD. The photo was taken by Hollywood press photographer FLOYD McCARTY (stamped on reverse). Issued as publicity by WARNER BROS. in 1944. Reverse of photo contains an original Photoplay periodical stamp with date of SEP 1945.
The photo features a rare candid shot of John Garfield at home as he shows his wife Roberta part of the collection of guns and weapons he brought back from his three-month tour of North Africa and Italy where he entertained allied troops.

I wonder where the Mp-40 is now ???
 
Most likely long gone...like Garfield's film career after the Hearings on Unamerican activities, at which he refused to name names and was blacklisted by the Hollywood studios.
A damn shame because he was a great actor and spent alot of time entertaining the troops during the war.
Died at the age of 39.
