Our Town Sam Wood, USA, 1940, 90m When Sol Lesser, an exhibitor and producer of low-budget films, bought the rights to Thornton Wilder’s 1938 meditation on American life and death in Grover’s Corners, he was assuming the stewardship of one of the key works of American theater, if not American culture. Lesser made every effort to preserve the play’s integrity, and his first order of business was to hire Wilder himself to write the screenplay. He went on to hire the finest talent he could find — a score by Aaron Copland, production design by William Cameron Menzies, Bert Glennon as the D.P., and a cast that included Frank Craven as the Stage Manager, Thomas Mitchell as Dr. Gibbs, Beaula Bondin as Myrtle Webb, Fay Bainter as Mrs. Gibbs, Martha Scott as Emily and Holden, in only his third significant screen role, as George. Many felt that he was both too good - looking and too old for the role, but he gives a touching performance, perfectly matched by Scott’s luminous force. See both these films for the price of one!

Golden Boy Rouben Mamoulian, USA, 1939, 99m Clifford Odets’ 1937 drama about an Italian - American boy torn between music and the fight game was originally produced by the Group Theatre, with Luther Adler as Joe and Frances Farmer (transplanted from the movies) as his girl — as well as Morris Carnovsky, Elia Kazan, Bobby Lewis, Lee J. Cobb, Martin Ritt, Howard Da Silva, Karl Malden, and Julius Garfield (who would soon change his name to John). While not as groundbreaking as Awake and Sing or Waiting for Lefty, Golden Boy further established Odets as the premier dramatist of the great American melting pot. This Hollywood version is smoothed out and ethnically neutered, but it’s still powerful. Holden had only two walk-ons to his credit when he was cast as Joe, and he is very good in the role that made him a star –– raw, passionately intense, heartbreaking, beautiful. However, at a certain point in the production, the filmmakers lost confidence in their young lead; his co-star Barbara Stanwyck insisted that Holden stay on, for which Holden always felt a debt of gratitude. Strangely, despite the fact that many members of the Group had migrated to Hollywood and were testing for their movie debuts, only one of them was cast in Golden Boy: Cobb, in the role of Mr. Bonaparte (for which he was too young), originated by Carnovsky.
