    Silent comfort food
    ZAZA is as comforting as a chocolate croissant. It is not groundbreaking or original, but it is a well-executed romantic comedy boasting one of the silent era's greatest stars in her prime. For those who only know Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond, ZAZA shows her at her best advantage as both a dramatic actress and comedienne. Much of this movie is laugh-out loud amusing, with Lucille La Verne stealing scenes as a parrot-totting dipsomaniac.
