OFS SILVER SCREENINGS presents SUNSET BOULEVARD

Arguably the greatest movie ever made about Hollywood, Billy Wilder’s noir masterpiece is a deliciously acerbic look at the sad spectacle that is the life of former silent screen star Norma Desmond (Gloria Swanson). Despite losing her film career with the advent of sound, Norma delusionally plans her comeback film, aided and abetted by a devoted circle of sycophants and fellow has-beens -all played, like Desmond herself, by actual silent-era stars and directors; including Erich von Stroheim and Buster Keaton. Struggling hack screenwriter, Joe Gillis (William Holden), is ensnared in Desmond’s web and unwittingly becomes her kept man. When he tries to break free, well- come see for yourself!
