For Your ReConsideration: Sunset Boulevard (1950)

OscarWatch Podcast

We would like to remind everyone that we are big, it's the podcasts that got small. Continuing our look at the year 1950, we set our sights on Billy Wilder's timeless time of obsession and faded glory, the one and only, Sunset Boulevard. A Hollywood film about Hollywood unlike any other. Amy and Steve discuss - at length - the beauty of the acting, from both Holden and Swanson, to how delicious the scripting can be (are there two better lines spoken in film history? We think not!) and just why this may endure better than its conqueror, All About Eve. Plus, that music, Eric von Stroheim and so much more. Join us. We're ready for our close-up. Thanks for listening. Write us an email at [email protected] and be sure to find us on social media @oscarwatchpod Next week, Guillermo! But for what?
