Tired of working -toward artistic triumphs in some nebulous future, the boy aban dons his art to win for himself quick success as a prize-ring kill er. "Golden Boy" is the thrill ing story of that decision; but. more importantly, it is the por trayal of the tremendous con flict which rages when the youth attempts to force both himself -and his family to believe that his decision is the right one. .

Cobb, Sam Levene, Ed Brophy, Frank Jenks and Beatrice Blinn.
