Program Description

Event Details

(Re)discover the oldies but goodies of classic Hollywood. A monthly screening followed by discussion. Showtime is at 10:00am every third Thursday.

This month we’re watching Sunset Boulevard (1950), a dark comedy, film noir directed by Billy Wilder and starring William Holden as Joe Gillis, a struggling screenwriter, and Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond, a former silent-film star who draws him into her deranged fantasy world, where she dreams of making a triumphant return to the screen. Praised by many critics when first released, it was nominated for 11 Academy Awards and won three. It is often ranked among the greatest movies ever made and was deemed "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant" by the U.S. Library of Congress in 1989.

Running time- 110 minutes

Closed Caption available
