Everytime I hear the title "Sunset Boulevard" I think about the Carol Burnett spoof of the movie.

Been on a lot lately on one of the other networks that shows movies, maybe Screen Pix.

"I AM big. It's the pictures that got small!"  Love that movie! Gloria Swanson was great. I'll be watching!

 

I wish TCM had included "Stalag 17" in the William Holden lineup. He was great in that movie. Also "Picnic", another one of my faves.

I watched most of this for the umpteenth time.  I never get tired of anything with Holden.  

 

Love the note with the cigarette case she gives him that says, "Mad About The Boy."
