Gloria Swanson as aging silent-film queen Norma Desmond, and William Holden as the struggling young screenwriter who is held in thrall by her madness, created two of the screen’s most memorable characters in Sunset Boulevard. Winner of three Academy Awards, director Billy Wilder’s powerful orchestration of the bizarre tale is a true cinematic classic. From the unforgettable opening sequence—a body found floating in a decayed mansion’s swimming pool—through the inevitable unfolding of tragic destiny, Sunset Boulevard is the definitive statement on the dark and desperate side of Hollywood. With Erich von Stroheim, Nancy Olson, and cameos by Buster Keaton, Hedda Hopper and Cecil B. DeMille.
