Film Noir Series SUNSET BOULEVARD
March 27

Nominated in 1950 for an Oscar for Best Picture, Director (Billy Wilder), Actor (William Holden), Actress (Gloria Swanson), Supporting Actor (Erich von Stroheim), Supporting Actress (Nancy Olson) and Cinematography, this now-classic exposé about the darker side of Hollywood is at the top of the film noir rankings.

From Edith Head's baroque costumes to John F. Seitz's nightmarish noir photography, every aspect of Sunset Boulevard retains a formal beauty rarely attempted in a modern film, and yet the screenplay contains not one line that could be thought callow by 21st-century audiences.

“Remains the best drama ever made about the movies because it sees through the illusions, even if Norma doesn't.” Chicago Sun-Times
