Description
Cast: William Holden, Marthe Keller, Henry Fonda
Wilder’s penultimate feature re-teams the director with frequent leading man Holden for this dissection of the Hollywood glamour myth. Attempting to make a comeback, down-on-his-luck producer Dutch (Holden) infiltrates the Greek island of the reclusive, Garbo-esque actress Fedora (Keller) in order to lure her out of retirement. A mysterious and fascinating variation on the first Holden/Wilder collaboration, Sunset Blvd.
