A classic black comedy/drama, and perhaps the most acclaimed, but darkest film-noir story about "behind the scenes" Hollywood, self-deceit, spiritual and spatial emptiness, and the price of fame, greed, narcissism, and ambition.

Caustic and with bitter wit in a story that blends both fact and fiction and dream and reality, Sunset Boulevard exposes the corruptive, devastating influences of the “new” Hollywood and the studio system by showing the decline of old Hollywood legends many years after the coming of sound.

Yes, this is Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California. It's about five o'clock in the morning. That's the Homicide Squad - complete with detectives and newspapermen. A murder has been reported from one of those great big houses in the ten thousand block.”
