A screenwriter develops a dangerous relationship with a faded film star determined to make a triumphant return.

#BillyWilder directing #WilliamHolden and #GloriaSwanson

DER KLASSIKER über die Verwandlung von Journalismus in kapitalisierbare Erregung. New Hollywood ist hier keine Stilphase, sondern der Krisenmodus des US-Kinos, der endlich seine eigenen Macht- und Produktionsbedingungen sichtbar gemacht hat. Ein Film, der Fernsehen als Institution beschreibt, die Wahrheit nur noch als Nebenprodukt von Quote und Eskalation kennt. Was bei Sidney Lumet 1976 noch wie Überzeichnung gewirkt haben mag, liest sich heute doch wie eine frühe Betriebsanleitung des Medienkapitalismus (nicht erst) unter Trump. Sie dürfen diesen Film deshalb unter keinen Umständen verpassen! (ARTE, Wh.)

THE COUNTERFEIT TRAITOR - George Seaton - 1962 - ★★★★
---
A great spy #movie full of suspense, sustained throughout. Moments of dramatic tension underscore the seriousness of the subject matter and keep you on the edge of your seat. It's a pleasure to see several European cities during the sixties.

TRAHISON SUR COMMANDE - George Seaton - 1962 - ★★★★
---
Un grand #film d’espionnage tout en suspense. Des moments de tension dramatiques soulignent la gravité du sujet et tiennent en haleine. Plaisir de voir plusieurs villes d’Europe des sixties.

Alec Guiness, David Lean – „Die Brücke am Kwai“ (1957)

Ein Film, der sich bis heute jeder einfachen Einordnung entzieht. Kein unpolitisches Kriegsabenteuer, keine historische Rekonstruktion, sondern eine minutiöse Studie über Stolz, Pflicht und die Absurdität militärischer Logik. Schon in der ersten Szene, in der britische Soldaten in ein japanisches Kriegsgefangenenlager geführt werden, ist die doppelte Dimension zu spüren: eine strenge Ordnung, subtile Machtmechanismen, die Menschen zerstören können. Anders als in klassischen Flucht- oder Abenteuerfilmen wird die Brücke nicht zur Begründung der Handlung, sondern viel mehr zum Symbol der Unterwerfung unter Systeme, die nicht kontrollierbar sind.

Nancy Olson (actor) about to make William Holden (actor) a siphon coffee in Sunset Boulevard (1950)

The siphon she is using is an 8 cup General Electric "space age" siphon, including an electrical heater stand (nb, the last photo, showing the unit on the shelf). I bought one of these back in 2003 on eBay. Still works too!
