I just watched this film again the other day and loved that part!

Love it! 😊

Isn’t it amazing? My love of that film, and Gloria Swanson, grows more with each viewing.

Watched it for the first time last week, what an incredible film!

Rob! So glad you finally saw it. If you’d like to delve further into all-things SUNSET BLVD, I highly recommend “Close-Up on Sunset Boulevard” By Sam Staggs. Enjoyed it much more listening to it on Audible than I did reading the book.
