Celebrate the 75th anniversary of one of cinema’s greatest achievements, Sunset Boulevard.
Celebrate the 75th anniversary of one of cinema’s greatest achievements, Sunset Boulevard, with rare archival photographs and materials from the Paramount archives.
1950 was a seminal year for filmmaking: All About Eve, Born Yesterday, Father of the Bride, and more. But one movie stands above the rest: Sunset Boulevard, Billy Wilder’s searing look at—and indictment of—the studio industry at one of its most influential and powerful times of its reign. The story of Joe Gillis, a down-on-his-luck writer who falls in with Norma Desmond, a faded star of the silent screen who is trying to scramble back into the limelight, is considered by many to be the greatest movie about Hollywood ever produced.
Now, fans can step behind the camera with this commemorative celebration of the making of this classic. Featuring rare materials from the Paramount archives, The Greatest Star includes extraordinary production and behind-the-scenes stills, posters, and more, which are all used to illustrate Billy Wilder’s original shooting script for the movie. Also featuring a fascinating essay about the movie from noted film historian Jeffrey Vance and a preface looking back at her time on the film by cast member Nancy Olson Livingston (Betty Schaefer), The Greatest Star is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest films of our time.
