Sunset Boulevard (1950)

Are you ready for your close up?  Do you think that you ARE BIG and it's the pictures that got small?  Are you a 51 year old silent film star who couldn't effectively transition into the talkies and lives in a dilapidated mansion?  Then Sunset Boulevard is the movie for you!  This genre bending Billy Wilder noir/comedy/thriller is pure excellence in cinema and deserves your attention STAT.  Gloria Swanson and William Holden star in this beautifully crafted love/hate letter to Hollywood...that 100% includes a monkey funeral.  Join Sara Greenfield and her guest Daniel Strauss as they chat about all this and more on Talk Classic To Me.
