Boots Malone [a good hat film]

[RBH]

Caught part of this on TCM awhile ago, It has some great fedoras in it, but star William Holden is wearing one sweet thin ribbon. Catch it if you can, its a good flick. From 1952...

William Holden plays Boots Malone, a dishonest--and impoverished--jockey's agent. Malone sees a chance to crack the big time through the talents of young jockey John Stewart. Stewart's wealthy mother wants to remove the boy from the rarefied world of the race track, but it is Malone himself who destroys his friendship with Stewart by ordering the boy to throw the race, or else they'll be put on the spot by gangsters. Malone's last-minute regeneration restores Stewart's faith in him. from amazon.com

Hat's off to Holden.

That's a great solo picture of William Holden. Now that's how to wear a hat. Thanks for the pictures.

I admit that I watch TCM primarily to stare at all the hats.
