5 second plot: Joe is a screenwriter in financial trouble. He can't get enough work to pay for his rent. One day he accidentally ends up in the house of Norma Desmond, a (very rich) actress from the golden age of the silent pictures. She is planning a return to the big screen and asks Joe to help her with a screenplay.
5 second review: Oh man, I can't stress enough that Gloria Swanson's acting seriously got on my nerves. It's so over the top... she simply takes it too far. It's horrible. But William Holden and Nancy Olson do a great job. They look really good together.
