In a <a href="/wiki/Flashback_(narrative)" title="Flashback (narrative)">flashback</a>, Joe relates the events leading to his death. Six months earlier, Joe is a down-on-his-luck screenwriter trying to interest <a href="/wiki/Paramount_Pictures" title="Paramount Pictures">Paramount Pictures</a> in a story he submitted. <a href="/wiki/Script_coverage" title="Script coverage">Script reader</a> Betty Schaefer harshly critiques it, unaware that Joe is listening. Later, while fleeing from <a href="/wiki/Repossession" title="Repossession">repo men</a> seeking his car, Joe turns into the driveway of a seemingly deserted mansion inhabited by forgotten <a href="/wiki/Silent_film" title="Silent film">silent film</a> star Norma Desmond. Learning that Joe is a writer, Norma asks his opinion of a script she has written for a film about <a href="/wiki/Salome" title="Salome">Salome</a>. She plans to play the role herself in her return to the screen. Joe finds her script abysmal, but flatters her into hiring him as a <a href="/wiki/Script_doctor" title="Script doctor">script doctor</a>. Joe moves into Norma's mansion at her insistence, and sees that Norma refuses to believe that her fame has evaporated. Her butler Max secretly writes all of the <a href="/wiki/Fan_mail" title="Fan mail">fan mail</a> that she receives in order to maintain the illusion. At her New Year's Eve party, Joe realizes that she has fallen in love with him. He tries to let her down gently, but Norma slaps him and retreats to her room, distraught. Joe visits his friend Artie Green and again meets Betty, who thinks a scene in one of Joe's scripts has potential. When he phones Max to have him pack his things, Max tells him Norma has cut her wrists with his razor. Joe then returns to Norma, and their relationship becomes sexual. Norma has Max deliver the edited Salome script to her former director <a href="/wiki/Cecil_B._DeMille" title="Cecil B. DeMille">Cecil B. DeMille</a> at Paramount. She starts getting calls from Paramount executive Gordon Cole but refuses to speak to anyone except DeMille. Eventually, she has Max drive her and Joe to Paramount in her 1929 <a href="/wiki/Isotta_Fraschini_Tipo_8A" title="Isotta Fraschini Tipo 8A">Isotta Fraschini</a>. DeMille welcomes her affectionately and treats her with great respect, but tactfully evades her questions about the script. Max then learns that Cole only called her because he wants to rent her Isotta Fraschini for use in a film. Preparing for her imagined comeback, Norma undergoes rigorous beauty treatments. Joe secretly works nights in Betty's office, collaborating on an original screenplay. After Max discovers Joe's moonlighting, Max reveals that he was once a respected film director, who discovered Norma, made her a star, and was her first husband. After Norma divorced him, Max abandoned his career to become her servant. Norma discovers a manuscript with Joe and Betty's names on it and phones Betty, insinuating that Joe is not the man he seems. Overhearing the call, Joe invites Betty to the mansion to see for herself. When she arrives, he pretends that he is satisfied being a <a href="/wiki/Gigolo" title="Gigolo">gigolo</a> so that she can be with Artie. However, after she tearfully leaves, he packs to return to his old newspaper job in <a href="/wiki/Dayton,_Ohio" title="Dayton, Ohio">Dayton, Ohio</a>. He bluntly informs Norma that there will be no comeback, that Max writes all of her fan mail, and that she has been forgotten. He disregards Norma's threat to kill herself as she brandishes a gun; as he leaves the house, Norma shoots him three times, and he collapses into the pool. The flashback ends and the film returns to the present day, with Norma about to be arrested for murder. The mansion is overrun with police and reporters with <a href="/wiki/Newsreel" title="Newsreel">newsreel</a> cameras, which she believes are film cameras. Max pretends to "direct" her, and the police play along. As the cameras roll, Norma descends the grand staircase for what she thinks is a <a href="/wiki/Close-up" title="Close-up">close-up</a> for DeMille. She stops and makes an impromptu speech about how happy she is to be making a film again, then walks towards the camera, before she gets arrested by the authorities. <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Cast">Cast</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sunset_Boulevard_(film)&action=edit&section=2" title="Edit section: Cast">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1184024115">.mw-parser-output .div-col{margin-top:0.3em;column-width:30em}.mw-parser-output .div-col-small{font-size:90%}.mw-parser-output .div-col-rules{column-rule:1px solid #aaa}.mw-parser-output .div-col dl,.mw-parser-output .div-col ol,.mw-parser-output .div-col ul{margin-top:0}.mw-parser-output .div-col li,.mw-parser-output .div-col dd{page-break-inside:avoid;break-inside:avoid-column}</style><div class="div-col" style="column-width: 25em;min-width: min(25em, 100%);"> <ul><li><a href="/wiki/William_Holden" title="William Holden">William Holden</a> as Joe Gillis (Joseph C.

The film workers lived modestly in the growing neighborhood, but during the 1920s, profits and salaries rose to unprecedented levels. With the advent of the <a href="/wiki/Star_system_(film)" class="mw-redirect" title="Star system (film)">star system</a>, luxurious homes noted for their often incongruous grandeur were built in the area. As a young man living in <a href="/wiki/Berlin" title="Berlin">Berlin</a> in the 1920s, <a href="/wiki/Billy_Wilder" title="Billy Wilder">Billy Wilder</a> was interested in American culture, with much of his interest fueled by the country's films. In the late 1940s, many of the grand Hollywood houses remained, and Wilder, then a Los Angeles resident, found them to be a part of his everyday world. Many former stars from the silent era still lived in them, although most were no longer involved in the film business. Wilder wondered how they spent their time now that "the parade had passed them by" and began imagining the story of a star who had lost her celebrity and box-office appeal.<a href="#cite_note-perry-5">[5]</a> The character of Norma Desmond mirrors aspects of the twilight years of several real-life faded silent-film stars, such as the reclusive existences of <a href="/wiki/Mary_Pickford" title="Mary Pickford">Mary Pickford</a> and <a href="/wiki/Pola_Negri" title="Pola Negri">Pola Negri</a> and the mental disorders of <a href="/wiki/Mae_Murray" title="Mae Murray">Mae Murray</a>, <a href="/wiki/Valeska_Surratt" class="mw-redirect" title="Valeska Surratt">Valeska Surratt</a>, <a href="/wiki/Audrey_Munson" title="Audrey Munson">Audrey Munson</a> and <a href="/wiki/Clara_Bow" title="Clara Bow">Clara Bow</a>. <a href="/wiki/Dave_Kehr" title="Dave Kehr">Dave Kehr</a> has asserted that <a href="/wiki/Norma_Talmadge" title="Norma Talmadge">Norma Talmadge</a> is "the obvious if unacknowledged source of Norma Desmond, the grotesque, predatory silent movie queen" of the film.<a href="#cite_note-6">[6]</a> The most common analysis of the character's name is that it is a combination of the names of silent film actress <a href="/wiki/Mabel_Normand" title="Mabel Normand">Mabel Normand</a> and director <a href="/wiki/William_Desmond_Taylor" title="William Desmond Taylor">William Desmond Taylor</a>, a close friend of Normand's who was murdered in 1922 in a never-solved case sensationalized by the press.<a href="#cite_note-staggs-7">[7]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading3"><h3 id="Writing">Writing</h3>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sunset_Boulevard_(film)&action=edit&section=5" title="Edit section: Writing">edit</a>]</div> <figure class="mw-default-size mw-halign-right" typeof="mw:File/Thumb"><a href="/wiki/File:Gloria_Swanson_%26_Billy_Wilder_-_ca._1950.JPG" class="mw-file-description"><img src="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Gloria_Swanson_%26_Billy_Wilder_-_ca._1950.JPG/220px-Gloria_Swanson_%26_Billy_Wilder_-_ca._1950.JPG" decoding="async" width="220" height="267" class="mw-file-element" srcset="//upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Gloria_Swanson_%26_Billy_Wilder_-_ca._1950.JPG/330px-Gloria_Swanson_%26_Billy_Wilder_-_ca._1950.JPG 1.5x, //upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/thumb/7/76/Gloria_Swanson_%26_Billy_Wilder_-_ca._1950.JPG/440px-Gloria_Swanson_%26_Billy_Wilder_-_ca._1950.JPG 2x" data-file-width="654" data-file-height="795" /></a><figcaption><a href="/wiki/Gloria_Swanson" title="Gloria Swanson">Gloria Swanson</a> and <a href="/wiki/Billy_Wilder" title="Billy Wilder">Billy Wilder</a> </figcaption></figure> Cinematographer <a href="/wiki/John_F._Seitz" title="John F.

Waugh's story follows a failed screenwriter who lives with a silent film star and works in a cemetery. Gossip columnist <a href="/wiki/Hedda_Hopper" title="Hedda Hopper">Hedda Hopper</a>, who plays herself in the movie, wrote that "Billy Wilder … was crazy about Evelyn Waugh's book The Loved One, and the studio wanted to buy it." Regardless, the plans for this adaptation fell through. The original script that followed nevertheless contains similarities to the novel. At one point, Norma mistakes Joe for a funeral director and inquires about a coffin for herself and her deceased pet chimp.<a href="#cite_note-8">[8]</a> Wilder and Brackett began working on a script in 1948, but the result did not completely satisfy them. In August 1948, <a href="/wiki/D._M._Marshman_Jr." title="D. M. Marshman Jr.">D. M. Marshman Jr.</a>, formerly a writer for <a href="/wiki/Life_(magazine)" title="Life (magazine)">Life</a>, was hired to help develop the storyline after Wilder and Brackett were impressed by a critique he provided of their film <a href="/wiki/The_Emperor_Waltz" title="The Emperor Waltz">The Emperor Waltz</a> (1948). In an effort to keep the full details of the story from <a href="/wiki/Paramount_Pictures" title="Paramount Pictures">Paramount Pictures</a> and avoid the restrictive censorship of the <a href="/wiki/Motion_Picture_Production_Code" class="mw-redirect" title="Motion Picture Production Code">Breen Code</a>, they submitted the script a few pages at a time. The Breen Office insisted certain lines be rewritten, such as Gillis's "I'm up that creek and I need a job," which became "I'm over a barrel. I need a job." Paramount executives thought Wilder was adapting a story called A Can of Beans (which did not exist) and allowed him relative freedom to proceed as he saw fit. Only the first third of the script was written when filming began in early May 1949, and Wilder was unsure how the film would end.<a href="#cite_note-staggs-7">[7]</a> <blockquote>The fusion of writer-director Billy Wilder's biting humor and the classic elements of film noir make for a strange kind of comedy, as well as a strange kind of film noir. There are no belly laughs here, but there are certainly strangled giggles: at the pet chimp's midnight funeral, at Joe's discomfited acquiescence to the role of gigolo; at Norma's <a href="/wiki/Mack_Sennett" title="Mack Sennett">Mack Sennett</a>-style "entertainments" for her uneasy lover; and at the ritualized solemnity of Norma's "waxworks" card parties, which feature such former luminaries as Buster Keaton as Norma's has-been cronies.<a href="#cite_note-9">[9]</a></blockquote> Wilder preferred to leave analysis of his screenplays and films to others.

He then reached out to <a href="/wiki/Clara_Bow" title="Clara Bow">Clara Bow</a>, the famed "<a href="/wiki/It_girl" title="It girl">It girl</a>" of the 1920s, but she declined citing that she had no interest in engaging in the film industry again due to how hard it was for her during the transition of sound films and that she'd prefer to remain in seclusion with her husband and sons while leaving her previous life behind her. They also offered the part of Norma Desmond to <a href="/wiki/Norma_Shearer" title="Norma Shearer">Norma Shearer</a>, but she rejected the role due to both her retirement and distaste for the script.

In many ways, she resembled the Norma Desmond character, and like her, had been unable to make a smooth transition into <a href="/wiki/Talking_pictures" class="mw-redirect" title="Talking pictures">talking pictures</a>. The similarities ended there; Swanson made a handful of talking pictures. She accepted the end of her film career and, in the early 1930s, moved to New York City, where she worked in radio. In the mid-1940s, she worked in television and on the New York stage and had last appeared in the 1941 film <a href="/wiki/Father_Takes_a_Wife" title="Father Takes a Wife">Father Takes a Wife</a>. Though Swanson was not seeking a movie comeback, she became intrigued when Wilder discussed the role with her.<a href="#cite_note-perry-5">[5]</a> Swanson was glad for the opportunity to earn a greater salary than she had been making in television and on stage.<a href="#cite_note-FOOTNOTEPhillips2010112-11">[11]</a> However, she was chagrined at the notion of submitting to a <a href="/wiki/Screen_test" title="Screen test">screen test</a>, saying she had "made 20 films for Paramount. Why do they want me to audition?" Her reaction was echoed in the screenplay when Norma Desmond declares, "Without me there wouldn't be any Paramount studios." In her memoir, Swanson recalled asking Cukor if it was unreasonable to refuse the screen test. He replied that since Norma Desmond was the role for which she would be remembered, "If they ask you to do ten screen tests, do ten screen tests, or I will personally shoot you." His enthusiasm convinced Swanson to participate,<a href="#cite_note-swanson-13">[13]</a> and she signed a contract for $50,000 (equivalent to $630,000 in 2023).<a href="#cite_note-14">[14]</a> In a 1975 interview, Wilder recalled Swanson's reaction with the observation, "There was a lot of Norma in her, you know."<a href="#cite_note-aboutfilmnoir-15">[15]</a> Wilder harks back to Swanson's silent film career when Norma shows Joe the film <a href="/wiki/Queen_Kelly" title="Queen Kelly">Queen Kelly</a>, an earlier Gloria Swanson film directed by <a href="/wiki/Erich_von_Stroheim" title="Erich von Stroheim">Erich von Stroheim</a>, who himself portrays Norma's butler and former director and husband Max von Mayerling.

The camera was placed inside a specially constructed box and lowered under water, but the result disappointed Wilder, who insisted on further experiments. The shot was finally achieved by placing a mirror on the bottom of the pool and filming Holden's reflection from above, with the distorted image of the police officers standing around the pool forming a backdrop.<a href="#cite_note-staggs-7">[7]</a> Film historian Tom Stempel writes: "In both Double Indemnity and Sunset Boulevard, Seitz does something that has always impressed me. Both are films noir, and he finesses the fact that both are set in the sunniest of locales, Los Angeles... he brings together the light and the dark in the same film without any seams showing... he brings together the realistic lighting of Joe Gillis out in the real world with the gothic look of Norma Desmond's mansion."<a href="#cite_note-staggs-7">[7]</a> <a href="/wiki/Edith_Head" title="Edith Head">Edith Head</a> designed the costumes. Wilder, Head, and Swanson agreed that Norma Desmond would have kept somewhat up-to-date with fashion trends, so Head designed costumes closely resembling the <a href="/wiki/Christian_Dior" title="Christian Dior">Dior</a> look of the mid-1940s. Embellishments were added to personalize them and reflect Norma Desmond's taste.<a href="#cite_note-23">[23]</a> Swanson recalled in her biography that the costumes were only "a trifle outdated, a trifle exotic."<a href="#cite_note-swanson-13">[13]</a> Head later described her assignment as "the most challenging of my career," and explained her approach with the comment, "Because Norma Desmond was an actress who had become lost in her own imagination, I tried to make her look like she was always impersonating someone." Head later said she relied on Swanson's expertise because "she was creating a past that she knew and I didn't."<a href="#cite_note-staggs-7">[7]</a> Head also designed the costumes for William Holden and the minor characters, but Wilder instructed von Stroheim and Nancy Olson to wear their own clothing.<a href="#cite_note-70th_anniversary_story-24">[24]</a> The overstated decadence of Norma Desmond's home was created by set designer <a href="/wiki/Hans_Dreier" title="Hans Dreier">Hans Dreier</a>, whose career extended back to the silent era.

Wilder insisted that the age difference between the characters be delineated, and instructed makeup supervisor <a href="/wiki/Wally_Westmore" title="Wally Westmore">Wally Westmore</a> to make Swanson look older. Swanson argued that a woman of Norma Desmond's age, with her considerable wealth and devotion to self, would not necessarily look old, and suggested Holden be made up to appear younger. Wilder agreed, and Westmore was assigned this task, which allowed Swanson to portray Norma Desmond as more glamorous a figure than Wilder had originally imagined.<a href="#cite_note-staggs-7">[7]</a> <div class="mw-heading mw-heading2"><h2 id="Score">Score</h2>[<a href="/w/index.php?title=Sunset_Boulevard_(film)&action=edit&section=8" title="Edit section: Score">edit</a>]</div> <style data-mw-deduplicate="TemplateStyles:r1236090951">.mw-parser-output .hatnote{font-style:italic}.mw-parser-output div.hatnote{padding-left:1.6em;margin-bottom:0.5em}.mw-parser-output .hatnote i{font-style:normal}.mw-parser-output .hatnote+link+.hatnote{margin-top:-0.5em}@media print{body.ns-0 .mw-parser-output .hatnote{display:none!important}}</style><div role="note" class="hatnote navigation-not-searchable">Main article: <a href="/wiki/Sunset_Boulevard_(film_score)" class="mw-redirect" title="Sunset Boulevard (film score)">Sunset Boulevard (film score)</a></div> <a href="/wiki/Franz_Waxman" title="Franz Waxman">Franz Waxman</a>'s musical score was the final element added to Sunset Boulevard.<a href="#cite_note-28">[28]</a> His theme for Norma was based on <a href="/wiki/Tango_music" title="Tango music">tango music</a>, inspired by her having danced the tango with <a href="/wiki/Rudolph_Valentino" title="Rudolph Valentino">Rudolph Valentino</a>.

In later years, Brackett confided in screenwriter/director <a href="/wiki/Garson_Kanin" title="Garson Kanin">Garson Kanin</a> that he had not anticipated the split, or had ever understood exactly what happened or why. He described it as "an unexpected blow" from which he never recovered fully; when asked to respond to Brackett's comments, Wilder remained silent.<a href="#cite_note-70">[70]</a> The two men briefly reunited in October 1951 to face charges that they had <a href="/wiki/Plagiarism" title="Plagiarism">plagiarized</a> Sunset Boulevard. Former Paramount accountant Stephanie Joan Carlson alleged that in 1947 she had submitted to Wilder and Brackett, at their request, manuscripts of stories, both fictional and based on fact, she had written about studio life. She claimed that one in particular, Past Performance, served as the basis for the Sunset script, and sued the screenwriters and Paramount for $100,000 in <a href="/wiki/Damages" title="Damages">general damages</a>, $250,000 in <a href="/wiki/Punitive_damages" title="Punitive damages">punitive damages</a>, $700,000 based on the box office returns, and an additional $350,000 for good measure, for a total of $1,400,000. Carlson's suit was dismissed after two and a half years. In 1954, a similar suit was filed by playwright Edra Buckler, who claimed material she had written had been the screenplay's source. Her suit was dismissed the following year.<a href="#cite_note-71">[71]</a> Brackett's Hollywood career continued after his split with Wilder. He won an Academy Award for his screenplay for <a href="/wiki/Titanic_(1953_film)" title="Titanic (1953 film)">Titanic</a> (1953), and wrote <a href="/wiki/Niagara_(1953_film)" title="Niagara (1953 film)">Niagara</a> (1953), the breakthrough film for <a href="/wiki/Marilyn_Monroe" title="Marilyn Monroe">Marilyn Monroe</a> as a dramatic actress. It was Wilder, however, who realized Monroe's comedic abilities in <a href="/wiki/The_Seven_Year_Itch" title="The Seven Year Itch">The Seven Year Itch</a> and <a href="/wiki/Some_Like_It_Hot" title="Some Like It Hot">Some Like It Hot</a>. Brackett's career waned by the end of the decade, though he did produce the Oscar-nominated film <a href="/wiki/The_King_and_I_(1956_film)" title="The King and I (1956 film)">The King and I</a> (1956). He received an Honorary Oscar for Lifetime Achievement in 1958. William Holden began receiving more important parts and his career rose. He won the Best Actor Oscar for <a href="/wiki/Stalag_17" title="Stalag 17">Stalag 17</a> (1953), also directed by Wilder, and by 1956 he was the top box-office attraction in the United States. Holden and Wilder also rejoined forces for <a href="/wiki/Fedora_(1978_film)" title="Fedora (1978 film)">Fedora</a> (1978), another film critical of Hollywood. Before the film was released, Nancy Olson had grown disenchanted with film as a career partly because the themes of Sunset Boulevard resonated with her, and also because she had become engaged to songwriter <a href="/wiki/Alan_Jay_Lerner" title="Alan Jay Lerner">Alan Jay Lerner</a> and decided to move to New York with him. Nevertheless, Olson's pairing with William Holden was considered a success, and she appeared opposite him in several films during the 1950s, although none of them repeated their earlier success; she returned to Hollywood to make several other films, including <a href="/wiki/The_Absent-Minded_Professor" title="The Absent-Minded Professor">The Absent-Minded Professor</a> (1961) and <a href="/wiki/Son_of_Flubber" title="Son of Flubber">Son of Flubber</a> (1963), in which she was paired with <a href="/wiki/Fred_MacMurray" title="Fred MacMurray">Fred MacMurray</a>.<a href="#cite_note-70th_anniversary_story-24">[24]</a> Similarly, Gloria Swanson was not able to leverage her own success in Sunset Boulevard. Although offered scripts, she felt that they all were poor imitations of Norma Desmond. Imagining a career that would eventually reduce her to playing "a parody of a parody," she virtually retired from films.<a href="#cite_note-perry-5">[5]</a> Sunset Boulevard was shown again in New York City in 1960, and drew such a positive response that Paramount arranged for a limited re-release in theaters throughout the United States. Films that discuss Sunset Boulevard in their screenplays or pay homage in scenes or dialogue include <a href="/wiki/Soapdish" title="Soapdish">Soapdish</a> (1991), <a href="/wiki/The_Player_(1992_film)" title="The Player (1992 film)">The Player</a> (1992), <a href="/wiki/Gods_and_Monsters_(film)" title="Gods and Monsters (film)">Gods and Monsters</a> (1998), <a href="/wiki/Mulholland_Drive_(film)" title="Mulholland Drive (film)">Mulholland Drive</a> (2001),<a href="#cite_note-staggs-7">[7]</a> <a href="/wiki/Inland_Empire_(film)" title="Inland Empire (film)">Inland Empire</a> (2006) and <a href="/wiki/Be_Cool" title="Be Cool">Be Cool</a> (2005).

(at first Starring Norma Desmond). Stapley and Hughes first approached Swanson about appearing in a musical revue they had written, About Time (based on <a href="/wiki/Time_(magazine)" title="Time (magazine)">Time</a>). Swanson stated that she would return to the stage only in a musical version of her comeback film. Within a week, Stapley and Dickson had written three songs which Swanson approved.<a href="#cite_note-StapleyHughes-76">[76]</a> In this version, the romance between Gillis and Schaefer was allowed to blossom, and rather than shoot Gillis at the end, Norma gave the couple her blessing, sending them on their way to live "happily ever after." Although Paramount gave verbal permission to proceed with the musical, there was no formal legal option. In the late 1950s, Paramount withdrew its consent, leading to the demise of the project. In 1994, Dickson Hughes incorporated material from Boulevard! into a musical Swanson on Sunset, based on his and Stapley's experiences in writing Boulevard!.
