One of the greatest movies ever made. I have seen it many times over the years and as I have aged, my perception of the film has changed. Seeing the movie on the big screen made it more effective. What a treat!

Great movie! Great cast. Gloria Swanson was phenomenal. So was Erich von Stroheim. The furnishings in and architecture of the mansion were impressive.

So much better at the theater than at home!

Old Hollwood at it's best. Must see.

So much better on the big screen than on tv. Gloria Swanson and William Holden are superbly cast!

This movie was way better than I was expecting. This is definitely the format to view these older movies.

A stunning movie. Swanson gives one of the all time great performances by anyone, ever. And William Holden was so sexy.

love this movie !

Great on the big screen.

One of my all time favorites. I never thought I would be able to see it on the BIG screen. THANK YOU!

Nothing like seeing it on the BIG screen.... I've only seen the small.

One of the greats!

Billy Wilder and Gloria Swanson with heartthrob William Holden at their best

Best Movie EVER!!!

Ad is in color, picture in black and white. Commentary should include that it was filmed in black and white on purpose.

Proves that Hollywood even then based a women's talent based on her age and looks.

One of the greatest movies of all time. To see on the big screen was a special treat.

What a wonderful way to spend an afternoon. Totally enjoyed it.

I’ve seen and loved the musical multiple times but truly enjoyed seeing the original today with my 88 year old mom who loved the walk down memory lane...

From the unique narrative structure through to the iconic dissolve, infinitely more magic than any avenger could ever muster.

one of the 10 best of all time - even better in the theatre

Great fun and saw so much that I had missed over the years watching it on tv!

Great to see it on the big screen, the way it was meant to be seen

One of the greatest films if all time!

Big screen with audience is a treat!

Great to see on big screen!! Gloria was fabulous!! Love info by Mankewitz

The BEST!! Vintage Hollywood. Great acting and period costumes/sets. Absolutely wonderful to spend the matinee with my 88 year old mother in law revisiting her movie-going youth via this BIG SCREEN presentation. Thank you TCM!!!

During the film my cell phone, which was turned off, texted itself "luminous"!

Great movie if you like old Hollywood productions...

loved being able to see all of the scenes and details so clearly

Norma Desmond was right about the big screen. It makes a difference. Loved it!!

I like this film. Gloria Swanson acted good for the drama act. Billy Wilder wrote a great screenplay.

The best movie I've seen

Have been hearing about this film for many years and I love that my first time seeing it was on the big screen. The pre and post film commentary was interesting, too.

Big screen was awesome. Details we never noticed before.

One of best movies of all time and arguably the best performance of all time. So great.

In the all time top ten

I'm ready for my closeup!
