About this listen

We didn't need dialogue. We had faces!

Join us on this episode as we dive into the iconic world of Sunset Boulevard! This 1950 film noir classic directed by Billy Wilder still leaves us in awe with its haunting story, unforgettable characters, and timeless themes. We break down exactly why we loved this film, from Gloria Swanson's "exceptional" performance as Norma Desmond to the unforgettable line, "All right, Mr. DeMille, I'm ready for my close-up." We explore the film's portrayal of Hollywood, ambition, and the darker side of fame—and why it still resonates today.
