"A screenwriter develops a dangerous relationship with a faded film star determined to make a triumphant return."
Not the usual noir storyline, but this very insider Hollywood story has a very noir-like, infamous narration and plenty of shadows and mood. Director Billy Wilder said: "At first, you know, this was supposed to be a comedy." Photographed by John Seitz, the same cinematographer Wilder previously used for Double Indemnity.
See also: Ace in the Hole (another Wilder film that uses noir tropes to tell a cynical tale of the media in a time when almost no one was doing that).
