Hollywood diva Norma Desmond, celebrated silent film star, hopes to make a comeback with the help of young screenwriter Joe Gillis. Thrilling as a whodunit, "Sunset Boulevard" tells the story of a great actress whose career was ended by technological advances. A. L. Webber turned it into a moving musical. Great cinema on the theatrical stage!
