A screenwriter develops a dangerous relationship with a faded film star determined to make a triumphant return.
"Just saying that 'Sunset Boulevard' is considered by many to be the best movie about Hollywood ever made. The original title, 'Sunset Boulevard', is a reference to the avenue parallel to Hollywood Boulevard - where, in the Golden Age of cinema, there were great studios and stars lived in their huge mansions. In Billy Wilder's (director of 'Some Like it Hot') masterpiece, we have a very unusual meta-fictional story for its time, which earned him the Oscar for best screenplay (music and art direction were also awarded). It's an essential classic for those who are fans of Hollywood cinema or the seventh art in general."
