I can't remember who put this on the list but I'm quite glad that they did. Peaceful, flowing and easy to enjoy.
A writer is employed by a slightly crazy woman that sleep walks to fix her script. She is apparently and actress and she has written a very weird script that features a lot of scenes with her in and a lot about hallucinations and nightmares.
The writer is 3 months behind on his rent for his apartment and this woman has money to burn so he takes the job. She makes him move in with her and he gets a taste of the higher life.
Verdict:
Lovely. Really nice to watch on a Sunday afternoon and takes me very much back to my childhood when we had to play board games and do things as a family, maybe watch a movie in the evening.
I couldn't help but smile throughout the film. It has something classy about the choreography and the music. In my opinion there is nothing better than a film with quality acting, proper classical music and ballroom dancing to go with it, that is what it meant to be in high society (which is an excellent film).
William Holden and Gloria Swanson are magnificent and really compliment each other. I would definitely watch this film again, at least twice in a year if not more. The only modern film that I can think of that comes close to making me feel the same way as this film did is The Quartet which was a glorious film and a showcase of talent in every aspect.
Sunset Boulevard has really turned my day from disaster into quality!
