William Holden: The Golden Boy (1989)
*** 1/2 (out of 4)
Robert Mitchum, Sidney Lumet, Cliff Robertson, Blake Edwards, Glenn Ford, Nancy Olson, Rupert Allen, Stephanie Powers, Richard Steele, Robert Wagner and Robert Wise are all interviewed about the great William Holden. The documentary, like others in the series, does a great job at giving you an idea of how the actor got into the business and then a great overview of their work.
Through countless film clips and interviews with Holden's colleagues you really get a great idea of what he was like including his not really liking to be in Hollywood, which would come out even more as he grew older and moved to Europe. Those who knew him share some great stories about the man including some nice thoughts from Robert Mitchum and Robert Wise.
