Program Description

Event Details

A textbook example of a Hollywood classic, this film shines a light on the industry 75 years ago that films like The Substance are still scrutinizing today. Screenwriter Joe Gillis (William Holden) finds himself accidentally working on a script that silent movie star has-been Norma Desmon (Gloria Swanson) hopes will mark her comeback. The longer they work together, however, the more Joe can see just how delusional and unhinged Norma really is.
