A luckless Hollywood scriptwriter goes to live with a wealthy older woman, a slightly dotty and extremely possessive relic of the silent screen
An interesting but slightly over-long movie. Swanson is superb but the best scenes for me were between William Holden & Betty, a lovely chemistry. Cecil B De Mille was spot on with his cameo. My main problem is that a lot of the film has Holden narrating. I hate that & have never really seen it work. When it was just played as a straight film, it wasn't at all bad. 5/10
