Thanks to mubi, I was able to see Billy Wilder's penultimate film. I was really enjoying the first half of it. William Holden was great as ever and the whole mystic surrouding Fedora and what was really happening at the mansion gripped my attention. However, I think that due to the casting of some actors, the things that got me so excited in the first half completely vanished in the second. Nevertheless, it's a really intelligent screenplay, courtesy of the mind of one of the greats, on the cult of a person, cinema's glamour and how it really works out, and the expectations we create for our loved ones and how that can corrupt them.
