This is a brilliant social commentary on Hollywood. Gloria should have won Best Actress.

@buckgreen6028 2 года назад

I agree wholeheartedly. Miss Swanson was astonishing. She certainly should have won the Oscar for "Sunset Boulevard" as no one could touch her performance.

I live in a 2 story apartment. Whenever I walk down the stairs to the first floor ready to go out, I'm saying to myself "Alright, I'm ready for my close-up"

This film's balance of entertainment and poetry is just about perfect. One of world cinema's 10 best.

As Miss Haversham stopped the clocks so Norma Desmond existed in her time cocoon. Brilliant casting, sterling script and Wilder's impeccable direction. There has never been a more chilling closeup than Norma's unmasked madness!

This film is sooo marvelous! I don't even know how to describe it, but it's amazing. Billy Wilder is one of my favourite directors, he was great. Gloria Swanson shines like Norma Desmond, fabulous and I also love William Holden, he never fails.

@buckgreen6028 2 года назад

Gloria Swanson's performance was one for the ages! She was simply magnificent.

@ericheine2414 5 лет назад

Norma's kind of like Miss Havisham from Great Expectations. Norma needed an understudy.

Billy Wilder made some of the best movies ever. And this was his masterpiece.

Great reviewer - great review. .

If you like this movie, you should see the movie, "All About Eve," released in the same year (1950). It is another classic. I think I like it better than "Sunset Boulevard"

@buckgreen6028 2 года назад

Sorry, but "All Above Eve" did not have the brilliant mystique of "Sunset Boulevard". Miss Swanson's tour de force performance was head and shoulders above Bette Davis in "All About Eve" and I am a Davis fan.

@RhaegarTargaryen1st Год назад

@@buckgreen6028 I agree that Gloria Swanson gave an indelible performance, but "head and shoulders above Bette Davis", I think not. The fact is that they both gave staggeringly brilliant performances in their respective films and they simply cancelled each other out. If there was ever a year for a Best Actress Oscar tie, a la 1968, it was 1950.

i find this a bit spoiler-ish

@graphiquejack 4 года назад

Lol. We know he’s dead in the first two minutes of the film. The movie itself spoils the ending for us.

@ricardocantoral7672 9 месяцев назад

Fun fact, this film was going to open in a morgue. Various corpses were going to discuss how they died and Joe was among them.

@Featureman 13 лет назад

Gloria Swanson was so great in this.

@_marlene 7 месяцев назад

she is so great that it undercuts the film-- It's easy to fall in love with her, even as a madwoman!!

About Norma's mansion: it was once one of the many homes of J.Paul Getty, the oil tycoon. In return for using the mansion, the film studio built the swimming pool. The film's director, Billy Wilder, would visit the mansion, from time to time, to reminisce about the film production. Eventually Getty sold the property to a real estate development company that tore it down to build an office building. The mansion stood near Crenshaw and Wilshire Blvd., far from Sunset Boulevard.

@ricardocantoral7672 9 месяцев назад

I think this film should appropriately called a tragedy.

@_marlene 7 месяцев назад

i had not expected it but it made me cry. quite a feat for something cut as it is, too. It's not trying to be a tear jerker. Fantastic film.
