(1950) dir Billy Wilder w/William Holden, Gloria Swanson, Erich von Stroheim, Nancy Olson [110 min]

This highly stylized film noir treat is the story of an out-of-work screenwriter (Holden) who is taken in (and eventually trapped) by a has-been movie queen, Norma Desmond (Swanson). Hollywood seems never more vicious than when turning its eye on itself, and Desmond is one of the most pitiable and disturbed embodiments of the Dream Factory ever committed to celluloid.
