Golden Boy (film)

Golden Boy is a 1939 Columbia Pictures drama film based on the Clifford Odets play of the same name. Directed by Rouben Mamoulian, the black-and-white film stars Barbara Stanwyck, Adolphe Menjou and William Holden.

Production

Golden Boy features William Holden in his film debut, the role that made him a star: a promising violinist who wants to be a boxer. Barbara Stanwyck plays his love interest. The supporting cast includes Lee J. Cobb in an unusual role as the bewhiskered Italian immigrant father of Holden's character.

The producers were initially unhappy with Holden's work and tried to dismiss him, but Stanwyck insisted that he be retained. Thirty-nine years later, when Holden and Stanwyck were joint presenters at the 1978 Academy Awards, he interrupted their reading of a nominee list to publicly thank her for saving his career.

Cast

  • Barbara Stanwyck as Lorna Moon
  • Adolphe Menjou as Tom Moody

    Golden boy
    Here come the golden boy. Eyes turn to follow. I find his golden handshake, is hard to swallow. I know it gives you pins and needles.
    I wish I gave you pins and needles, but I know if you want to dance all night, you know if you play your cards right, you could be the girl on the arms of the golden boy.
    Golden boy. Golden boy. Golden boy.
    Here comes the magic moment. One smile and you surrender. But you’re just a little child in the hands of the great pretender. I know he gives you pins and needles.
    I wish I gave you pins and needles, but I know if you want to dance all night, you know if you play your cards right, you could be the girl on the arms of the golden boy.
    Golden boy. Golden boy. Golden boy.
    Remember the golden boy. Remember the golden boy. You may remember the golden boy. But he’ll never remember you.
    Here come the boy in blue. There’s golden luck charm. I know that he’s the son of the man with the golden arm. I know he gives you pins and needles. He gives you too many pins and needles. Where ever he leads, I know you follow, but you may not live to see tomorrow, if you were the girl on the arms of the golden boy.
    Golden boy. Golden boy. Golden boy. Remember that you’re in charge.Golden boy. Golden boy. Golden boy. This is, he’s not strong. Golden boy. Golden boy. Golden boy. Remember what you’ve been taught. Golden boy. Golden boy. Golden boy. This is, he’s not strong. Golden boy. Golden boy. Golden boy. Golden
