In 'Catcher in the Rye', this is the boat movie!

Interesting fact: This is the movie that the prostitute mentions to Holden Caulfield in the novel 'Catcher in the Rye' by J.D.Salinger. She says he looks like the kid (Freddie Bartholomew) in the movie with 'the guy in the boat'. It's one of the few hints in that brilliant novel of Holden's appearance!

Holden was a spoiled brat with a lot angst too. He goes in cabs instead of boats.
