Movie Capsule Review
SUNSET BOULEVARD--THE MOVIE WEB SITE (2009)

Credits

Legendary director Billy Wilder's shadowy, noirish classic about an aging actress dealing with fading fame is treated with all the attention of a DeMille close-up at this fansite. You'll find a meticulously detailed story description, well-thought-out bios of stars Gloria Swanson and William Holden, and a behind-the-scenes look at the production. Still, the website's heavy on text, which tends to dwarf the charms of this visually stunning piece of cinema. B
