322 THE TALKING PICTURE Cliflurd Odets' play of a violinist who becomes a prize fighter, Golden Boy, was brought to the screen by Columbia in 1939, with William Holden in the title role. Appearing in this scene are (left to right): Edward Brophy, Barbara Stanwyck, Adolphe Menjou, and Holden. Rouben Mamoulian directed the film. Another fine film from England was George Bernard Shaw's Pygmalion, released by M-G-M. Leslie Howard not only played the lead but also codirected the picture with Anthony Asquith. This was the first Shaw play ever screened, and Shaw was delighted with it. Here are Howard and Wendy Hiller, who gave an unforgettable performance as the flower girl who is transformed into a lady.
