One of my favorite movies Sunset Boulevard and this Monday Matinee Movie.  netflix used to have it streaming but now it's not available.  You may still be able to get it by mail or try redbox

On to the movie

Sunset Boulevard

Staring:

William Holden ........ Joe Gillis
Gloria Swanson.........Norma Desmond
Nancy Olson..............Betty Schaefer
Erich Von Stroheim...Max Von Mayerling

The Plot:

The story, set in '50s Hollywood, focuses on Norma Desmond, a silent-screen goddess whose pathetic belief in her own indestructibility has turned her into a demented recluse. The crumbling Sunset Boulevard mansion where she lives with only her butler, Max who was once her director and husband has become her self-contained world. Norma dreams of a comeback to pictures and she begins a relationship with Joe Gillis, a small-time writer who becomes her lover, that will soon end with murder and total madness.

Enjoy!  Happy Monday
