30 Day Movie Challenge - Day Twenty-Seven

I can answer that one without the slightest doubt: Sunset Blvd. is my favorite Classic movie. I wish I had more time to explain why, but I don’t so that’s all I will say. Or, actually, what is there to explain? A tragic story about a fading Hollywood diva and a gigolo. Brillantly written by Billy Wilder. Brillantly directed by Billy Wilder. Starring Gloria Swanson, William Holden and Erich Von Stroheim. With cameos by Buster Keaton, Cecil B. DeMille and H. B. Warner. Gloria as Norma Desmond deliciously saying: ‘I am big; it’s the pictures that got small’. Nuff said.
