Billy Wilder collaborated on the screenplay with the very able Charles Brackett, and with D. M. Marshman Jr., who later joined the team. Together they created a film both allusive and literate, with Hollywood's worst excesses and neuroses laid out for all to see. After viewing Sunset Boulevard Louis B. Mayer exclaimed: "We should throw this Wilder out of town!" The New York Times, however, gave the movie a rave review, praising "that rare blend of pungent writing, expert acting, masterly direction, and unobtrusively artistic photography." The film was nominated for Best Picture, and Wilder won an Academy Award for Best Story and Best Screenplay.This facsimile edition of Sunset Boulevard makes it possible to get as much pleasure from reading the highly intelligent screenplay as from seeing the film. Jeffrey Meyers's introduction provides an intriguing array of background details about Wilder, the film's casting and production, and the lives of those connected to what has become a classic. 606 $aMotion picture plays 610 $aacademy awards. 610 $aactors. 610 $aactresses. 610 $aart. 610 $aarts. 610 $abehind the camera. 610 $abilly wilder. 610 $acharles brackett. 610 $acinema. 610 $aclassic films. 610 $aclassic hollywood. 610 $adm marshman jr. 610 $adrama. 610 $afamous films. 610 $afilm history. 610 $afilm script. 610 $afilm. 610 $afilmmaking. 610 $ahollywood insider. 610 $ahollywood. 610 $amedia studies. 610 $amedia. 610 $anonfiction. 610 $aperforming arts. 610 $apopular culture. 610 $aprice of fame. 610 $ascreenplay. 610 $asilver screen. 610 $astudio system. 610 $asunset boulevard. 610 $atheater. 615 0$aMotion picture plays. 676 $a791.43/72 700 $aWilder$b Billy$f1906-2002.$0789817 801 0$bMiAaPQ 801 1$bMiAaPQ 801 2$bMiAaPQ 906 $aBOOK 912 $a9910779009403321 996 $aSunset Boulevard$93838664 997 $aUNINA 999 $p$17.47$u07/24/2015$5Eng
