Full reviewClassic 1950 noir from Billy Wilder about a failed screenwriter (William Holden) who is drawn into the twisted fantasy world of a former silent-screen star (Gloria Swanson), as she yearns for a triumphant return. Voted the 16th best American film of all time by the American Film Institute in 2007.
Wilder would go on to direct the Marilyn Monroe classic Some Like It Hot and the 1961 Best Picture Oscar-winner The Apartment.
