  • At 75, "Sunset Boulevard" is ready again for its closeup

    In 1950, Billy Wilder directed "Sunset Boulevard," his caustic tale of Hollywood, obsession and murder, in which a fading star of silent pictures tries to recreate her fame.

    Without a doubt one of the greatest movies ever made, a masterpiece. Thanks for posting this Ed.

      The 4k version was just released by Paramount. Hopefully John Clancy will be reviewing this soon! One review I saw said that the 4k version is from an acetate duplicate of the negative which I assume was nitrate.

        I recently saw a upscaled (perhaps AI), of this feature, and it really looked great. One of William Holdens best, a man trapped in a situation that he'd desperately like to escape, but finds that there's no way out.
