Title: A static bore
Product review: The story did not have enough scene shift relief in its screen adaptation (it was a one set play). When there are essentially only two characters in a screenplay there should be some diversion of scenery from time to time which is why one is captivated by a film like "Sunset Boulevard" which is fundamentally a two person drama. However, Gloria Swanson and William Holden are afforded shifts of scenes away from the mansion where most of the action takes place so that the viewer does not feel "imprisoned". Also, neither of the two actors possess the allure of Swanson and Holden, nor does this insipid story pack the punch of that of screenwriter/director Billy Wilder.
