Sunset Boulevard (1950)

Gloria Swanson, as Norma Desmond, an aging silent-film queen, and William Holden, as the struggling young screenwriter who is held in thrall by her madness, created two of the screen's most memorable characters in SUNSET BOULEVARD. Winner of three **Academy Awards**, director Billy Wilder's powerful orchestration of this bizarre tale is a true cinematic classic. From the unforgettable opening sequence - a body found floating in a decayed mansion's.
