loved him forever. loved that he was grew up in Pasadena, CA and attended So Pas High... One great actor, beautiful physical appearance and understandable appeal to all

I felt like so much was left out. Love is a Many Splendors Thing, Network, Picnic, and Bridge Over the River Kwai. His whole body of work was just great!

I agree about his stellar body of work as a whole. Gentle reminder: The focus of this documentary is the "Paramount Years." The great films you mention were produced and/or distributed by 20th Century Fox, MGM, United Artists, Horizon Pictures, and Columbia Pictures.

I will always associate William Holden with Paramount Pictures because, like Alan Ladd, it was the studio that developed his movie career. Some actors you can't help but link them to certain studios. But Holden was rugged on the exterior, and Midwestern nice in his dealings with others (he was from Illionois, as the video indicated, but raised in California in his youth). Loved him in Sunset Boulevard and Stalag 17 (Oscar winner), as well as Sabrina. Thanks for presenting this retrospective of a great star.

I don't know what happened to Holden in-between 1954's Sabrina and 1955's Picnic, but he aged at least 15 years.

He was a terrible alcoholic from what I heard. It’s rough on people

Why no mention of his role in Love Is A Many Splendored Thing? Beautiful romantic film.

Leaves out Kwai and Network.

@nstix2009xitsn 4 ай бұрын

@andrews527 Forget about Network; his work was undistinguished. I know he was up for Best Actor, but he didn't deserve it. You watch Network for Peter Finch and Faye Dunaway. The nomination for Bill Holden might have been repaying him for being cheated out of a nomination for The Wild Bunch. Pre-affirmative action Hollywood used to do that all the time, e.g., giving Paul Newman his Oscar for a lousy performance in The Color of Money, instead of for his greatest performance for Cool Hand Luke (1967). Meanwhile, they may have given Rod Steiger his Oscar for In the Heat of the Night (1967), to make up for not giving it to him for The Pawnbroker (1964). Under affirmative action, Hollywood has tossed all pretense to having standards, or seeking to do right by people. Now, all they care about is hurting Whites.

Those pictures were done under his contracts with other film companies. This documentary focuses only on the films Holden did for Paramount Pictures.

It is not a prison film. It is a prisoner of war film.

Disappointed that you left out “Picnic”.

@freeandnatural Ай бұрын

Columbia Pictures produced/distributed "Picnic." This documentary is about the films Holden did for Paramount Pictures.

I thought he was terrific! Marsha Hunt seemed very jealous or was just a jerk. If my husband had won an Academy Award for any movie, I would have been VERY proud of him.
