Product Description:
Hack screenwriter joe moves in with hollywood has-been norma and her chauffeur max. Studio: Paramount Home Video Release Date: 08/22/2006 Starring: William Holden Nancy Olson Run time: 110 minutes Rating: Nr Director: Billy Wilder
Amazon.com essential video:
Billy Wilder's noir-comic classic about death and decay in Hollywood remains as pungent as ever in its power to provoke shock, laughter, and gasps of astonishment. Joe Gillis (William Holden), a broke and cynical young screenwriter, is attempting to ditch a pair of repo men late one afternoon when he pulls off L.A.'s storied Sunset Boulevard and into the driveway of a seedy mansion belonging to Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson), a forgotten silent movie luminary whose brilliant acting career withered with the coming of talkies. The demented old movie queen lives in the past, assisted by her devoted (but intimidating) butler, Max (played by Erich von Stroheim, the legendary director of Greed and Swanson's own lost epic, Queen Kelly). Norma dreams of making a comeback in a remake of Salome to be directed by her old colleague Cecil B. DeMille (as himself), and Joe becomes her literary and romantic gigolo. Sunset Blvd. is one of those great movies that has become a part of popular culture (the line "All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up," has entered the language)--but it's no relic. Wow, does it ever hold up. --Jim Emerson

I am writing to plead for someone who has purschased this item to please be specific about WHAT IS NEW ABOUT THIS EDITION. I gather it has been remastered--but the product info states that there are 2 discs, so are there any extras? Any commentary tracks? Those of us who love the film await word the way a reclusive film star awaits a simian undertaker!!
Many thanks for any descriptive info that can be provided.

I will keep it simple... all classic movies should get this attention... Restoration,Transfer and Remastering. I just saw the movie on TCM and this version is superior I will get all The Centennial Collections.

There are moments in SUNSET BOULEVARD when you literally don't know what you're watching. High drama? Acid black comedy? Bitter surreal cynicism? All of the above?
I have always been blown away by this movie. The talent and insight it possesses couldn't be done today, making it even more remarkable that it was made in 1950. (One of the stories I've heard about it was that Director Billy Wilder, hoping to spring this new monster on an unsuspecting Hollywood, lied during production ... Read More

This is one of those classics that deserves its reputation and then some. It's one of the best films ever made about Hollywood, and it doesn't have a trace of "inside" jokes or condenscenion as a lot of films/TV shows about Hollywood do today. The story starts out in startling fashion as a dead William Holden is narrating from the grave (you see his body in a pool in the famous opening scene, then they flashback). Holden is a down on his luck screenwriter who stumbles across Norma Desmond (played ... Read More

A classic movie which i need to see about once a year. The camera work is excellent and the story line is believable. An excellent example of what hollywood used to produce.
