Newcomer William Holden became an overnight sensation in the role of a young violinist who turns to boxing and finds himself torn between his two occupations - especially when seductive Stanwyck slinks into his life. Based on the hit play by legendary Clifford Odets and directed by innovative genius Rouben Mamoulian. Golden Boy packs just as big a punch today as it did when it came out in 1939, widely considered the greatest movie year ever. (Via Vision Entertainment)
