	Sunset Boulevard
		Sunset Boulevard, one of the world's most famous streets, was born as a route between those two divergent worlds.
		Sunset Blvd is a long, winding thoroughfare which begins in downtown Los Angeles, near Olvera Street (the birthplace of the city), and runs westward over 20 miles to the blue Pacific.
		At 5746 Sunset Boulevard (at the SE corner of Van Ness) in Hollywood was the Fox Network / KTTV Studios, where they taped "Maude," "One Day at a Time" and "The Jeffersons." However, Fox moved to the West Side, and plans call for a new school to be built on the site.

	Sunset Boulevard
		Sunset Boulevard (officially known as West Sunset Boulevard, except in Beverly Hills) is a street in the western part of Los Angeles County, California, that stretches from Figueroa Street in downtown Los Angeles to the Pacific Coast Highway at the Pacific Ocean in the Pacific Palisades.
		Sunset Boulevard used to extend farther east, starting at Alameda Street near Union Station and beside Olvera Street in the historic section of Downtown, but the portion of Sunset Boulevard east of Interstate 110 was renamed César E. Chávez Avenue, along with Macy Street and Brooklyn Avenue, in honor of the late Mexican-American union leader.
		The best-known section of Sunset Boulevard is probably the Sunset Strip in West Hollywood, which is a center for nightlife in the Los Angeles area.

	Billy Wilder's Sunset Boulevard
		Although, the film starts with a murder and the story is told through a flashback narration of the events leading up to it, the film is less concerned with crime than with the psychological investigation of the protagonists’ failed ideals.
		Sunset Blvd. doesn’t need obvious visual clichés because its message is so thoroughly pessimistic, cynical, and fatalistic.
		Whereas many film noir heroes either battle the meaninglessness and aimlessness of their existence or face it with a certain toughness, the two protagonists of Sunset Blvd., Norma Desmond, and Joe Gillis represent, respectively, a total denial of their failure and a total resignation to this fact.

		Billy Wilder’s 1950 masterwork "Sunset Boulevard" seems all the more miraculous given the circumstances and times in which it was made.

		So the first time I heard her in 'Sunset Boulevard' I was shocked and surprised at her powerful voice, especially when she says; Norma: "You there, why are you so late." Lupone's portrayal of Norma Desmond is haunting and awe-inspiring.

	Sunset Boulevard
		Sunset Boulevard is not the usual sort of ghost story, however; the only paranormal presence is the one narrating the tale from beyond the grave.
		An aura of rancid melancholy hangs heavy over much of Sunset Boulevard; when Gillis makes his New Year's Eve escape to a party hosted by his friend Artie Green (a startling Jack Webb, in unlikely hepcat mode), his sense of relief is as palpable as it is inevitably short-lived.
		It's true that his visual style is a fairly elemental one; apart from the opening shot tracking away from the title etched on a sidewalk and down the famous boulevard as approaching police cars come into view, his camera set-ups are generally static and unadorned.
