The Movie: Sunset Boulevard (1950)
What Is It?: Billy
Wilder tops his films past and future with a dark, funny, occasionally surreal
portrait of fading Hollywood stardom. Gloria Swanson devours the camera… she
teases it… she curls up inside of it… she stares it down and passes into
legend.
Why Today?: Today
is Tell a Story Day, and waterlogged
corpses tell the best stories.
