You're absolutely right in assessing the legacy of <I>Sunset Boulevard</I>, too, and how it has grown since its debut. Every time an amateur YouTube video clicks over 1 million hits, I can imagine some washed-up, burned-out contemporary celebrity lamenting how it's the pictures that have become small...T.S.http://www.blogger.com/profile/00945932279787919282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214297712303916286.post-47176493226411104632008-08-18T07:59:00.000-04:002008-08-18T07:59:00.000-04:00Nice post. As someone raised on Hitchcock's films, I've been wondering recently if Billy Wilder was actually the better director. While other movies date, Sunset Boulevard just gets more relevant, and more mordantly delightful.FDrhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/03073505923746994988noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8214297712303916286.post-45518001302242807662008-08-16T14:47:00.000-04:002008-08-16T14:47:00.000-04:00Agreed! (And I hope to have an <I>All About Eve</I> review on Screen Savour soon.)

This is definitely one of my favorites. Some day I want to watch this and All About Eve back-to-back. That would be a killer combo.Josephhttp://cinexcellence.comnoreply@blogger.com
