   Based on a true story, the Warner Brothers film Blackwell's Island is a routine B programmer boasting the studio's usual staccato pacing and familiar troupe of contract players. The lone exception is newcomer John Garfield in the role of Tim Hayden, a crusading journalist out to get rackets boss "Bull" Bransom.

   Blackwell’s Island. 1939. Well, it was short. Sure, Blackwell’s Island is a thematically flawed gangster/prison mashup from Warner Brothers, but it’s still entertaining and features a compelling climax. Certainly the biggest problem with the film is that it doesn’t know what it wants to be.

   What is Blackwell Island recreational site like?

   • Blackwell Island Recreational site is an easy walk across US95. This is where we rented a pontoon boat for the day. We noticed every type of RV here, but I would say a good portion of those were large fifth wheels and Class A's. Sites are both pull-through and back in. Pads consist of gravel and are somewhat level depending on your specific site.
