A Film for the Ages
An amazing movie after all these years. Gloria Swanson gives the performance of a life time, which a young William Holden almost matches. Eric Von Stroheim steals the show as Max the Butler. (His performance led me to “Greed”, his magnum opus as a silent film director.) And is there a director (besides Hitchcock) whose work has stood the test of time as well as Billy Wilder? This is a film for the ages.Read full review

A Masterpiece
Yes, it is in black and white but that gives this film charm, beauty and grace. A drama with comic parts. And the acting is first class with Gloria Swanson and William Holden, in the lead. Magnificent sets with tops in cinematography. I could watch this masterpiece, over and over without being bored. All about Hollywood and stars ; when they were paid 18,000.00 weekly and paid no taxes ! Buy it - see it.Read full review

Superior film
Absolutely great movie! Acting is above par. Holden and Swanson are magical together. Swanson is at her best as a washed out silent movie star trying to make a comeback. She is mentally unstable, quirky and definitely crazy as she still believes she is beloved by her fans.Read full review

Ready for my close-up Mr Deville
One of the great old Hollywood films of all times. If you long to be a film maker and go to Hollywood, you need to know this movie or jokes will go right over your head when having drinks with agents and producers, etc. Fabulous story.Read full review

A classic
Somehow, I had never seen this movie in my 70 years of loving old movies, mainly noir. Thank goodness I finally saw it. I would not classify it as a dark comedy myself, as some critics call it.

Iconic film the source of many phrased
Interesting film there are so many references to this film that I finally had to see the film to see where they came from very dated but a great window into that era even if it is in black and white which actually enhances the mood of itRead full review

The title says it all.
A true classic, only improves with age. Billy Wilder's masterful script, a solid cast
with intelligent and humorous dialogue make this one not to be missed.
