Movie of the Week:
"Sunset Boulevard" (1950)
Directed by Billy Wilder
Screenplay by Billy Wilder, Charles
Brackett & D.M. Marshman Jr.
Starring: Gloria Swanson, William
Holden & Erich von Stroheim
Billy Wilder’s 1950 film “Sunset
Boulevard” scared Hollywood
to death.
The reason why the film scared Hollywood
was that Hollywood was frightened that the picture would make them look bad, in
many ways it did. “Sunset Boulevard” is the story of a down on his luck screenwriter Joe Gillis who falls into
the clutches of forgotten movie starlet Norma Desmond. Gillis is played by William Holden. Gloria Swanson owns the Norma Desmond
role. The film shows the dark side of Hollywood; it’s narcissistic, overly
ambitiousness and greedy ways. Swanson is ultimately frightening as the former movie queen.
