Sunset Boulevard is a 1950 American film noir directed and co-written by Billy Wilder. It was named after the boulevard that runs through Los Angeles and Beverly Hills, California. The film stars William Holden as Joe Gillis, an unsuccessful screenwriter, and Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond, a faded silent movie star.She draws him into her fantasy world where she dreams of making a triumphant return to the screen. The story is set in 1950s Hollywood and depicts how cruel the effects of losing one's star status can be. The movie ends with murder and Swanson losing her mind. A BBC review of the film said it is, "the finest movie ever made about the narcissistic hellhole that is Hollywood".
日落大道是一部上映于1950年的悲情色彩電影，導演兼編劇是比利·威爾德。電影是以從洛杉磯市中心到加利福尼亞貝弗利山的大道而命名的。主演威廉·霍爾登，他飾演喬·吉利斯，一位不成功的編劇家，葛洛麗亞·斯旺森飾演諾曼·德斯蒙德，一位默片時代的電影明星。喬·吉利斯受到了曼的吸引，在曼的世界里，她的夢想是重新回到銀幕之中。故事發生于20世紀50年代的好萊塢，描述了明星失去地位時的慘重影響。電影以謀殺結束，曼失去了理智。英國廣播公司對這部電影的評價是：電影展現了好萊塢這片充滿自戀意識的骯臟之地，這是這種題材影片中的極品。
The movie was praised by many critics when it was first released. It was nominated for eleven Academy Awards and won three.
