SUNSET BOULEVARD

Paramount Pictures; Directed by Billy Wilder
Black and White; Not Rated; 110 minutes; 1950

 
Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson), an aging silent film queen, enlists the help of a struggling writer (William Holden) to make her comeback in this bizarre tale. From the unforgettable opening sequence through the unfolding of tragic destiny, the film is the definitive statement on the dark and desperate side of Hollywood. Erich von Stroheim as Desmond's ex-husband and Nancy Olson as the bright spot in unrelenting omniscience are celebrated for their masterful performances in this winner of three Academy Awards®.
