Beautiful Screen Play for a Beautiful Film
Published by Thriftbooks.com User , 15 years ago
It's a pleasure to read Wilder's screenplay for "Sunset Boulevard." Rarely are the director and the writer the same person. In this case we get to see what Wilder wanted depicted in an almost poetic writing style. When coupled with the beautiful final product it is truly a treat to watch Billy Wilder's timeless classic "Sunset Boulevard"
I think it is one of the best pieces of literature ever.
