Celebrate the 75th anniversary of one of cinema's greatest achievements, Sunset Boulevard.
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 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 never-before-seen materials from the Paramount archives, The Greatest Star includes production and behind-the-scenes stills, costume sketches, storyboards, posters, and more, which are all used to illustrate a facsimile of Billy Wilder's original shooting script for the movie. The Greatest Star is a fitting tribute to one of the greatest films of our time.
