Billy Wilder’s greatest film and one of Hollywood’s most blackly comic navel-gazing exercises makes a welcome return to the screen on its 70th anniversary.
Willian Holden is the feckless, bankrupt screenwriter who holes up in the mansion of faded silent movie star Gloria Swanson and slowly becomes entangled in her deranged comeback plans. Fabulously sour cynical stuff, with terrific performances all round. It’s back on screen in the Watershed’s Films That Love the Cinema season, celebrating the ‘shed’s welcome post-lockdown return to action.
