SUNSET BOULEVARD (1950) - MOVIE REACTION - First Time Watching

Sunset Boulevard is a 1950 American black comedy film noir directed by Billy Wilder and co-written by Wilder, Charles Brackett and D. M. Marshman Jr. It is named after a major street that runs through Hollywood and western Los Angeles. The film stars William Holden as Joe Gillis, a struggling screenwriter, and Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond, a former silent-film star who draws him into her deranged fantasy world, where she dreams of making a triumphant return to the screen. Erich von Stroheim plays Max von Mayerling, her devoted butler, and Nancy Olson, Jack Webb, Lloyd Gough, and Fred Clark appear in supporting roles. Director Cecil B. DeMille and gossip columnist Hedda Hopper play themselves, and the film includes cameo appearances by silent-film stars Buster Keaton, H. B. Warner, and Anna Q. Nilsson.

I love surprises Coby....unless it's the sort where I've dropped something and reach under the couch to find it, and feel something tickly crawl over my hand. 🕷️🪳

Paul Hildebrand

I hope you get good attendance at the premiere, unfortunately I cannot make it.

Harvey Lee

Ready for my close up Mr DeMille !!!📽️ I remember those iconic words in pop culture memes Now I get to watch what I know will be an awesome reaction to a Noir Classic I must wear my fedora for this .📽️🎬🖤😉

A relationship that is just a tad bit toxic.

One of David Lynch's favorite movies - you can see it's influence on him through lots of his work. Mulholland Dr. is basically the doppelgänger of this film.

They say "find what you love and let it kill you"... 🍕 seems a lot healthier choice than the Madam

What a wonderful surprise. I’m watching your reaction now. Billy Wilder is one of the greatest directors of film history. You would love “The Apartment,” Wilder’s most critically acclaimed film. And, yes that was Cecil B. DeMille himself.

Great reaction to one of the best films of all time, Coby! Billy Wilder was a prolific director, a genius really, and I'm sure you'll enjoy many more of his films! As others have pointed out already, "Mulholland Drive" is a logical next step here, as it is kind of a mirror of "Sunset Boulevard", and peak David Lynch.

Wilder is one of Hollywood's greatest directors. Some of his other films include "Some Like it Hot," Marilyn Monroe in what is probably his most famous movie and is considered Monroe's finest, "The Seven Year Itch," another Monroe movie and the one with the famous subway grating scene, the air lifting up her skirt, "Sabrina," Audrey Hepburn this time. "The Apartment," another classic, "Double Indemnity." There is also a film from 1942 I absolutely love though it's not as well known, "The Major and the Minor," about a 30ish broke woman (Ginger Rogers) who pretends she's a child to gain half fare for a train trip. Hilarity ensues when she meets a military school headmaster on the train and falls for him.

I saw this reaction when you had it on Criminal Content. One great movie Gloria Swanson was amazing in this movie, but also very creepy. hahaha

Watched this one for the first time a few months back. It's like a cool time capsule for earlier Hollywood. I guess Swansen was one of the actual big silent stars in real life...and the Butler actual directed her in real life too. The movie she showed in her house was actually a real movie of hers. Think Wilder asked a bunch of silent stars. Sent me on YouTube vortex of silent era movies. Buster Keaton had a cameo in this too. I'm really just getting started on Wilder myself he hasn't missed for me. Some Like It Hot is wonderful. Double Idemnity is great BABY lol. Sabrina was ok but Ace In The Hole is damn prophetic. The Apartment is probably his most famous. Think those are all the ones I've seen. He is great...enjoy the Wilder rabbit hole.

Great reaction Coby! The Apartment and Some Like it Hot are must-watch Billy Wilder follow-ups!
