Great film, great card, great scene. And not only one of the iconic scenes in movie history, but one of the most ingenious (via filming a mirror that exactly fit the dimensions of the pool floor). I'd love more of that kind of American know-how in films these days, rather than yawny-boring CGI. N

From one of the greatest films ever made, this lobby shows one of the best (and strangest) opening scenes in a movie EVER: A few of the LAPD's Finest fish Joe Gillis' (Bill Holden's) body out of Norma Desmond's (Gloria Swanson's) swimming pool. The only thing that could have beat it, in my mind, would be if they had printed a card showing the creepy monkey's funeral. But they didn't.
