Truly one of a kind. Gloria Swanson plays the role in the most unique, over the top way..and it works. PERFECTLY. A story set in the very small world of an aging Hollywood Star that, with the help of her devoted 'butler', is still holding on to the idea that she is a star... an accidental meeting with a younger, out of work and down on his luck screenwriter turns into just another prop for her self-deception...an amazing hollywood story with no antagonist other than time, age, human psyche and heartache. A MUST SEE movie.
