Plot
A producer tries to bring a reclusive star out of retirement.
Sinekatalog’s take
Billy Wilder's late melancholic drama has a producer trying to coax a reclusive legendary star back to the screen. Elegiac and mysterious, with William Holden and Marthe Keller, it is an underrated, bittersweet Hollywood elegy.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
