              Hildegarde Neff, Jose Ferrer, Michael York,

Screenplay:
Billy Wilder, Tom Tryon (also Story)           
The story of a movie director(Holden) trying to lure out of retirement  a Garbo-like  actress with tragic consequences reunites the team of "Sunset Boulevard" but the magic is not there. Wilder has lost his touch and the film, barely released and  a commercial failure is  not entertaining.
Few people have seen this movie and those who have not have not missed much.

Starring:
William Holden : 1978 - 1981
Holden has an uncredited cameo as a prisoner smoking a pipe
He did it while visiting his companion of the moment (Powers) on the set.
Time  never seem to run out as we wait and wait for a volcano to erupt and put the all-star cast out of its misery. Holden is the greedy developer.
In Australia,  Holden, terminally ill, teaches Shroeder, orphaned and lost,, how to survive in the bush country.
Good dramawith a lot of nature footage.
William Holden last film is director Edwards way of venting his resentment over Hollywood's treatment of him in the early 70s. It is a failed attempt at satire where there are some good moments, but too few and far apart to make this a good film. Holden is quite good even if he looks a lot older than his real age.
