Description
William Holden and Gloria Swanson star in this classic black comedy co-written and directed by Billy Wilder. Struggling Hollywood writer Joe Gillis (Holden) is attempting to avoid his creditors when he pulls his car into the garage of an apparently deserted mansion. He soon discovers that it is in fact the home of Norma Desmond (Swanson), an ageing actress who was once a star of silent films.
Desperate for money, Gillis agrees to work on her screenplay for a project about Salome, which Norma intends to serve as her comeback. However, Gillis gradually becomes trapped in Norma's bizarre fantasy world and when he tries to leave, the consequences are devastating. The cast also includes Erich von Stroheim, Nancy Olson and Jack Webb.
