1950--MORE ON CROTON'S GLORIA SWANSON & HER COMEBACK FILM SUNSET BOULEVARD

Welcome to Everything Croton, a collection of all things Croton--our history, our homes, our issues, our businesses, our schools, our houses of worship--in short, EVERYTHING CROTON.

Look what one of the Elves found--a 1950 movie review with great pix too--of Sunset Boulevard from Modern Screen Magazine.  Click on the images.

For those who don't know, Gloria Swanson lived right here in Croton for a number of years. (Read AND see more at https://bit.ly/1QK6VdP)

Sunset Boulevard starred William Holden as Joe Gillis, an unsuccessful screenwriter, and Gloria Swanson as Norma Desmond, a faded silent-film star who draws him into her fantasy world, where she dreams of making a triumphant return to the screen.  Erich von Stroheim plays Max von Mayerling, her devoted servant...

A wonderful old film...

Sunset Boulevard was ranked number 12 on the American Film Institute's list of the 100 best American films of the 20th century.  ADD THIS ONE TO YOUR MUST-SEE LIST!  You may also have an interest in SWANSON IN THE LOST FILM, MADAME SANS GEN; SEE MORE HERE.
