Sunset Boulevard (1950)

Directed by
Billy Wilder

Billy Wilder's classic acerbic look at 1950s Hollywood was nominated for 11 Oscars and is probably the first film to have the opening narration spoken by a corpse. Joe Gillis is a penniless screenwriter who pitches up by accident at the mansion of silent star Norma Desmond, who is still dreaming of a comeback. She inveigles him to stay and work on her script but, with time, he becomes her gigolo, under the watchful eye of butler Max Von Mayerling.
