Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond, an ageing silent film queen, and William Holden as the struggling writer who is held in thrall by her madness, created two of the screens most memorable characters in Sunset Boulevard. Winner of three Academy Awards, director Billy Wilders orchestration of the bizzare tale is a true cinematic classic. From the unforgettable opening sequence throught the inevitable unfolding of tragic destiny, the film is the definitive statement on the dark and desparate side of Hollywood. Erich von Stroheim as Desmonds descovered, ex-husband and butler, and Nancy Olson as the bright spot in unrelenting ominousness, are equally celebrated for their masterful performances.
