Sunset Boulevard (1950) dir. Billy Wilder
Madame is the greatest star of them all.
Gloria Swanson in Sunset Blvd. (1950) dir. Billy Wilder
Those idiot producers... those imbeciles. Haven't they got any eyes, have they forgotten what a star looks like? I'll show them, I'll be up there again, so help me!
