This is seriously my favorite movie of all time. The writing is sooo good, it seems impossible that it came from just two people. Gloria Swanson is amazing in this and deserved the Oscar, as did William Holden. I loved every frame of it.

Kathleen A. gave it a 10:
Classic - Nothing compares to it! What a shame that Gloria and Bill did not deservedly win the Best Actress and Best Actor Awards. Also "Best Picture" and "Best Director" for Wilder. Another of the "Academy's" famous, notable and many mistakes. Classic in every way.
