As most of you already know, ever since I was a kid, I’ve had a passionate love affair going on with old films.

I can watch them over and over, and still watch them over and over again.

One of my all-time favorite black and white films is Sunset Boulevard.

I don’t know whether it’s because I have such fond memories of sitting in the den of our home; watching it with my fabulous mother on a Saturday afternoon while eating grilled cheese sandwiches and tomato soup, or the simple fact that I’m an overly dramatic character myself, but I LOVE Sunset Boulevard.

It’s grand, Gothic, eerie, and oh-so intriguing.

It is the story of a demented and faded silent film star, Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson) who refuses to accept the present by living in the past, and has delusions of making a comeback (or rather a return) to the movie screen in a screenplay she has written herself.

At the beginning of the film, she meets a young handsome screenwriter, Joe Gillis (William Holden) who ends up at her home because his car has a flat tire directly in front of her Sunset Blvd. mansion. They eventually have a torrid and strained “younger man, older woman” affair, while simultaneously using each other for opportunism.


Towards the end of the film, Joe decides to break off the affair, which makes Norma FREAK OUT with jealousy and go totally insane; taking a gun from her dresser drawer and shooting him DEAD into a swimming pool.

Talk about overly dramatic!


But don’t allow the ending to make you think this movie is only dark and dismal, because there’s also a lot of wonderful campy humor in the film.

There is much more that happens between what I just shared with you, but it would take too long to tell. Besides, if you enjoy old movies like me, you really should rent it to see the whole story because it’s truly a brilliant script, mixed with a masterpiece of cinematography.

It is a flawless depiction of what Hollywood was like back then, GLAMOROUS and GRAND.

Movie stars were movie stars.


I would like to share a short montage from some of the best scenes in the movie, infused with the powerful and haunting soundtrack from the Broadway show.

Some of you may have already seen this clip, because I had it on my sidebar last week as one of my movie favorites. So I apologize if you’re watching it for the second time, but it’s such a perfect example of why I love this film.
(and if you have head phones, please use them while watching this because the music is phenomenal)

So, in the infamous last words of the character Norma Desmond, I say……

….“Alright, Mr. DeMille, I’m ready for my close-up.”

  1. Ah ! Oldies were never meant to die. Well, even Joe narrates the story from the beyond.
    I have two favorite movies from way back which I love just because the medium has allowed these actors to live on.
    One is "Goodbye, Mr Chips". Love old movies that depict how schools were back in those days. And what a tear jerker.
    The other one is "It happened one night". I only love it for that one scene in the bus.

    P.S. my blog is back up online

  2. "Movie stars were movie stars..."

    You ain't kidding. This is a giant of a movie, and one of the best ever made. It's been a part of my movie collection for quite some time now, and ranks up there with Casablanca, Raging Bull, Citizen Kane and Fight Club. This is one of those films that I enjoy watching at least once a year, and is required viewing for anybody who loves film.

    Oh, and that pose of Gloria Swanson is *classic* cinema!

    Now, if you'll excuse me, I feel like going swimming face down in the pool for a few hours...

  3. Ron I absolutely love this movie as well. It is such a sad movie. The face on Gloria Swanson is almost a caricature and yet so compellingly sad.
    What a telling tale about the fate of aging actresses. Their value lost due to wrinkles upon their faces. Instead of being revered for their knowledge. They are cast aside scratching for days gone by...days they will never recapture. It is all so sad and tragic and glam and scary all rolled into one. I never saw the play. I think some things are best left to the original. There is no one else who could replace the look on Gloria's face when she asks Mr. DeMille for her close-up.

  4. Ron, I've seen many old classics, but somehow I haven't seen this one. I sometimes tune in to channel 61 on cable. They play oldies round the clock.

  5. I love old films too Ron. My favourites are the Fred Astaire and Ginger Rogers films - boy could they dance!

  7. Gloria Swanson, my, oh my, I remember my granny raving about her... a bit before my time, you understand. Just a teeny bit...grins. Seriously, I don't think granny ever went to the movies and I certainly never saw Sunset Boulevard. That's sSomething I aim to change forthwith cos the plot sounds terrific. So move over, Ron, let's all get in on the act....

  8. Love me some Gloria Swanson (and Bette Davis). Love old films. I need to go back and rewatch this. It's been a while. Thanks for reminding me! Back then being a "cougar" was such a torrid thing. I'm sure it happened a lot more than we heard about but you just didn't DO that! Know what I mean?

    Fabulous post my dear friend!

    *clapping*

    "This is a giant of a movie, and one of the best ever made."

    Yup, I had a feeling you were a lover of old films, as well. About four years ago, I bought the anniversary DVD of Sunset Boulevard with all the special features at the end - it's freakin' awesome! Me too, I watch it at least once or twice a year. I can only imagine what your movie collection looks like, I bet it puts mine to shame.

    "Casablanca, Raging Bull, Citizen Kane and Fight Club."

    Faaaaaaabulous films!

    "Oh, and that pose of Gloria Swanson is *classic* cinema!"

    You said it, buddy! Classic!

    "Now, if you'll excuse me, I feel like going swimming face down in the pool for a few hours..."

    HAHAHHAAHHAHAHAHAHA! "Just a teeny bit...." Oh, you are a RIOT, dear lady!

    I've never seen Gloria in any of her silent films, however they do use an actual clip from one of her old silent films in Sunset Boulevard, in one of the scenes. She truly had the perfect fact for silent movies - gorgeously expressive!

    If you ever have the chance to watch this film, I just KNOW you're gonna love it. Get yourself a nice glass of red wine, sit back, and take a ride to Sunset Blvd.

    ALWAYS so wonderful to see you, Valerie! Thank you for stopping by!

    "Back then being a "cougar" was such a torrid thing. I'm sure it happened a lot more than we heard about but you just didn't DO that! Know what I mean?"

    Yes, I do. This movie had so many taboos weaved between the script, and yet it was brilliant how they did it. This movie touched on so many things that people didn't talk about back then.

    Thanks oodles for stopping by, dear friend! Always enjoyed!

    Ah...I KNEW you'd seen this film!

    "Ron I absolutely love this movie as well. It is such a sad movie. The face on Gloria Swanson is almost a caricature and yet so compellingly sad."

    You're absolutely right, my friend.

    "Their value lost due to wrinkles upon their faces. Instead of being revered for their knowledge."

    You said it!

    "It is all so sad and tragic and glam and scary all rolled into one.'

    Yes, and that's what I LOVE about this film...you can't pinpoint what it is. It's the perfect blend of comedy, tragedy, and scary. I remember as a kid, thinking it was only a horror film, but later on discovered all the various rich levels in the script.

    "There is no one else who could replace the look on Gloria's face when she asks Mr. DeMille for her close-up."

    No one.

    The Broadway show is also wonderful, in fact, brilliant. Webber did an amazing job with the score and script, bringing to life onstage.

    Thanks so much for stopping by and sharing on this post, Susie! We've discover, yet another thing we have in common!

    Happy Monday!

    Me neither, in fact, I don't watch ANY TV, only movies I rent. You, being a photographer would absolutely adore this film. It's truly a black and white masterpiece of cinematography. Many photographers use this film as a study in black and white.

    I think you'll LOVE it!

  24. I too, love the old movies. Sunset Boulevard is so campy. I love it too. All About Eve is one of my favorites. "Fasten your seatbelts. It's going to be a bumpy night." Love the cameo by Marilyn Monroe. Do you remember Carol Burnett spoofing this movie on her television show? It was hilarious.

  26. Can you believe I have never seen this movie!? *hangs head in shame*
    But I will definitely keep it in mind, the clips looked so interesting!
    And that music for those clips... soooo wonderful and intense!
    I do watch certain movies over and over again, but for some reason, never really got into the old black and white ones. I have seen a few. My favorite I guess would be 'Whatever Happened to Baby Jane', I know you love that one too!

  27. Hey Gal From Brooklyn~

    OMG...I CANNOT believe you mentioned "All About Eve" because I actually own that DVD and just watched it a week or so ago. LOVE IT! It's in my top three list of favorite Bette Davis films.

    Yes, Marilyn Monroe's cameo, as George Sanders love interest was faaaaaabulous! Everyone in that cast was so perfect for their roles.

    "Do you remember Carol Burnett spoofing this movie on her television show? It was hilarious."

    HAHAHHAAHAHAHAHA! Yes, and that you for reminding me of that because I had totally forgot. I also loved her spoofs on "Mildred Pierce" and "Gone With The Wind!"

    What a great show that was!

    "Can you believe I have never seen this movie!?"

    OMG...I'm SHOCKED; being the movie lover that you are! I do realize that not everyone is as INSANE about black and white films as I am, however if you ever watch it, I KNOW you'll just adore it. It's so artistic!

    Isn't the music for that clip, wonderful? You said it, intense! Webber did an amazing job on the score for the Broadway show. I saw the touring company while I was still living in Florida, and it totally amazed me how he took that film and transformed it into a stage show. It was like watching the movie come to life, right before your eyes! I wish I had seen Glenn Close as Norma, I heard she was incredible.

    Oooo...."Whatever Happened To Baby Jane?"....also, one on my favorites. I own the DVD.

    Always so wonderful sharing with ya, M! Thanks for stopping by!

  31. Absolutely one of my all time favorites too. Wasn't Gloria Swanson just downright scary creepy fabulous? Oh, and I just fell in love with Bill Holden. *sigh*

    Another one of my very favorites is The Bishop's Wife. I love those scenes where Cary Grant and David Niven are communicating without words. And the part where he begins to recite the twenty third psalm always makes me cry. *another sigh*

    And then, of course, there's Bill Holden again in Sabrina. And Audrey. And Bogart. Which brings us to a fork in the road. We could go on all night now, couldn't we?

    tres entertaining!! mais oui!

    "Wasn't Gloria Swanson just downright scary creepy fabulous? Oh, and I just fell in love with Bill Holden. *sigh*"

    Yes! Miss Swanson scared the shit out of me!

    And it's ironic you mentioned falling in love with Bill Holden, because my mother was IN LOVE with him too! She told my father that the only man she would ever leave him for was Bill Holden - HAHAAHAHAHAHA!

    OMG...yes! yes! "The Bishop's Wife" I loved that one too! Boo-hoo buckets! Cary Grant was one of my all-time favorite actors. I loved him in "Penny Serenade" with Irene Dunn. Talk about CRYING!

    And "Sabrina!" Boy, you really DO love old movies, don't ya?

    "Which brings us to a fork in the road. We could go on all night now, couldn't we?"

    Yes, we could. Maybe one day if we should ever meet, you, Cristy, and I can get a bottle of wine and watch old movies!

  37. I love her jaw line
    that may sound crazy to some but I'm guessing you agree
    she could hold her head like nobody's business
    all that drama in the tilt of her head, or the slight movement of an eyebrow
    and her eyes!! could she get them to go any wider

    wonderful!!

    did you see the Broadway musical version? I had tickets when it was Glenn Close and got sick that day - deadly fever sick
    my SIL scored - I had great seats

  38. "Sunset Boulevard" is a classic. I can't ever watch it though without thinking of Carol Burnett doing the Norma Desmond role on her show. When Norma (Gloria) does that, "ready for my close-up" I see Carol and start laughing.

    I also never can watch GWTW and see Scarlett in that green dress made from curtains without seeing Carol in hers with the curtain rod still attached.

    Damn, that Carol Burnett! LOL

    No, that doesn't sound crazy at all, and I TOTALLY agree! She had a strong, yet very feminine face, it was PERFECT for this role!

    Oh...and those eyes and eyebrows! Bellissima!

    "did you see the Broadway musical version? I had tickets when it was Glenn Close and got sick that day - deadly fever sick
    my SIL scored - I had great seats."

    Holy shit! You had tickets to see GLENN CLOSE??? OMG, even if I were sick, I would have had them take me to the theater in an ambulance and a stretcher, to see her perform that role - HAHAHAHAHAHAHA!

    *only kidding*

    No, I didn't see the show on Broadway, however I saw the national touring company while they were in Orlando, Florida. I saw Petula Clark play the role, and to be totlly honest, I didn't care for her performance. She played it rather boring. I did however, get to meet her backstage after the show because someone I knew, knew her from another show they did with her. Lovely lady!

    Yes, "Sunset Boulevard" is not everyone's cup of tea, because parts of it are very macabre.

  45. Hi there Ronnie,
    I have been very busy so this is my catchup time.
    You are going to gasp but I believe that I have never seen Sunset Bvd! Of course, daaaling, I know the film's reputation as one of the all-time classics.
    I have to bone up...

    But, I have seen many old vintage films in my younger years. I think that it has to do with the fact that I had an older Dad. And, he wanted me to know all the classic stars and many of the b&w classics. If it not have been for him, Cary Grant,Bogey,the Marx bros,Laurel & Hardy and so many others would have not been exposed to me.

    Thanks Dad X

    What do you do when you want to see oldies? Do you find a film festival? Or squat a friend's TV? :)

    Big hugs xxxx

    Ah yes...those are some of the GREATEST!!!!

    So, thanks Barbara's dad! X

    Whenever I want to see the oldies, I either just rent them, or watch one from my HUGE collection. Can you believe I still have VHS tapes? Slowly, I am collecting them on DVD.

  49. This movie is a classic. They do not make movies like this anymore. That is when you became part of the movie. It was as if you actually were in the film, tucked away in all that black and white splendor where no one could see you but you were part of the film not just a spectator like today. Today it is like being a vouyer looking at nooks and crannies of naked bodies and rivers of blood that embelish a plot that is about as sexual as whoopie cushion. In the black and white days your imagination was what stirred your emotions not the 25 gsllons of coke and the trailer load of popcorn you get to take your mind off the shit on the screen. The good ones now are far and few in between. We watch Larry the Cable guy now and he has a love affair with a goat. What the hell has happened? Where are the Sophia Lorens the Betty Grables and Patrica Neals? Now we have a whole new gendre of boobs and penises that are suppose to help us forget about life and enter a place call feel good.
    Thank You for the trip down memory lane. It was great to see that old clip.

    OMG...you are soooooooo correct, my friend! What you just shared is absolutely brilliant, and exactly how I feel about old films!

    HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA! Agreed!

    As you shared, there is no imagination needed anymore in many of the films of today. It's all about "special effects" and little or no story.
