I thought she was terrible in this film. I've never seen so much over-acting. Maybe because she came from silent films and this wasn't her forte, but then why use her as the lead in this movie?? hatever the reason I think the movie suffered for it. Her accent and phrasing are extremely annoying. The only thing about her is that she does look freaky. Great storyline though! I bet there's many Hollywood stars that end up like this.
I disagree, I think she was perfect for this part in every way, each actor they picked was brilliant. Her background gives her perfect qualification for the role, and even the theme of the movie matches up wonderfully. Her performance at the ending is absolutely breath taking and one of the most memorable in all of cinema history.
Precisely, harlow. Norma Desmond didn't know where the movie ended and real life began. Everything she did was outsized, to make up for her pictures being silent. Those who think there could be a more subtle and nuanced Norma just don't "get" Norma.
he better watch out for the cigarette as she is very expansive with her hand gestures.
This lady has no idea of reality for years and what we don't know until the end is that her husband is the butlr played by Erich Von Stroheim who is also FABULOUS in this film!
DAMN IT! the sound is broken!

scarlett the overacting is the whole point, in silent movies they overacted and she played an ex silent movie star who is stuck in her acting ways

I own this movie on DVD, yet I still watch clips when I run across them, lol. Wonderful movie!
I also love when she says "Do you want me to tell you?" Ha! And William Holden was an absolutely gorgeous, if reluctant, gigilo!

what a sordid tale, but so truistic to Hollywood, then and maybe now too. Well written, and acted to the hilt. Gloria and Bill shone. Thanks.

I'm SO devastated that your video freezes at 1:04!
I was so excited to have run across this clip from one of my all-time beloved movies...
I was thinking how appropriate it would be to post on my MySpace page for the New Year being that it portrays the New Year's Eve scene.
I'm so bummed now to find out it doesn't work.... =[
