Počnúc nezabudnuteľnou úvodnou scénou až po nevyhnutné naplnenie tragického osudu je film dokonalou výpoveďou o temnej a zúfalej stránke Hollywoodu. Všetci túžia po niečom, čo nemôžu získať, ale so sebazničujúcim odhodlaním sa o to stále pokúšajú. Neuznávaný scenárista a zabudnutá hviezda tvoria nesúrodý, no zároveň v niečom si veľmi podobný ústredný tandem, ktorý sa bije, aj keď tuší, že nikdy nevyhrá. Toto je Hollywood a kto sa dobrovoľne položí, prestáva existovať. Wilderov nekompromisný pohľad na fascinujúci a zničujúcí Hollywood spostredkúvajú tri dokonale napísané a odohrané hlavné figúry.
