This movie features some of the finest set design (by legendary Hans Dreier) in any movie, this alone would be enough to create a fascinating movie but if you add on top of this the spectacular performance by Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond, Erich von Stroheim as Max von Mayerling and William Holden as Joe Gillis (who is also a fantastic narrator of this movie) and you'll get a true Masterpiece.

Sunset Boulevard is probably one of the darkest films of all time. It is probably the darkest psychological story of the 1950s and you will see what I mean when you see it. The start of the film takes you to how that event happened throughout the whole film. Sunset Boulevard takes you on a journey of not only romance but also of psychological behaviours that the characters have. Sunset Boulevard i... read more

It’s a hard and cynical film, which struggles with its doomed but sweet “normal” love affair.It has some of the best and most memorable lines (“I am big, it’s the pictures that got small”, and “nobody walks out on a star!” come to mind).
Joe Gillis, an unsuccessful screenplay writer, escapes the finance men who are trying to reclaim his car by driving into the garage of an old mansion on Sunset Boulevard. Assumed to be someone else, he is led by Max the butler to the mansion's owner, silent film star Norma Desmond. Wishing to make a comeback, she hires him to rewrite her "Salome" script, then falls in love with him.
Release date: 4 August 1950

This is Cinema (93 movies items)"No estoy de acuerdo con que esta película no se atrevió a más. Consideren la época, el director y los actores que participaron; no eran don nadies que querían criticar un sistema que no conocían. Pero consideren más la trama que va de una vieja leyenda de Hollywood cayendo más y más en la locura y el aferro al pasado, mientras que el MC es un guionista mediocre está teniendo dificultades de hacer un guion decente. Este guionista, a través de una voz en off, nos presenta ese micromundo"
