Billy Wilder's classic drama starring Ray Milland as a writer and
inveterate alcoholic who evades his brother to embark on a binge
around New York. Don Birnam (Milland)'s struggles with alcohol have
become clear to those close to him. However, having satisfied
himself that Don hasn't had a drink for ten days, his brother, Wick
(Philip Terry), agrees to escort Don's girlfriend, Helen (Jane
Wynam), to a show while the writer prepares himself for their
planned trip to the country. Instead, Don uses the absence of the
pair to search his apartment for the booze Wick has hidden and sets
off for the city's watering holes when he can't find any. Over the
days that follow, Helen and the increasingly exasperated Wick
attempt to track down the absent Don, but can anyone help the
wayward writer get back on the wagon?

Billy Wilder directs this Oscar-winning classic exposé of the
Hollywood studio system. Struggling Hollywood writer Joe Gillis
(William 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 (Gloria
Swanson), an ageing actress who was once a star of silent films.
Desperate for money, Gillis agrees to work on a screenplay
adaptation of 'Salome' which Norma has written for her intended
comeback. Gillis then gradually becomes trapped in Norma's bizarre
fantasy world, and when he tries to leave her, she makes an attempt
at suicide. The film also features silent screen legends Cecil B.
DeMille, Buster Keaton and Erich von Stroheim in supporting roles.
