Hollywood Noir
"All right, Mr. DeMille... I'm ready for my close-up." Director Billy Wilder's 1950 cinematic masterpiece, newly restored for the first time in high definition, celebrates its Blu-ray debut as part of Paramount Pictures' centennial celebration. Gloria Swanson stars as aging silent film queen Norma Desmond, and William Holden as the down-on-his-luck young screenwriter who is held in thrall by her madness. Nominated for eleven Academy Awards, including Best Picture, the bizarre, tragic tale is a definitive statement on the dark and desperate side of Hollywood.
See Gloria Swanson and William Holden in bonus feature clips from 'Sunset Boulevard,' available for the first time on Blu-ray:

You May Have Missed...
A year after his brother's death, Jack is still emotionally fragile. When he makes a scene at a memorial party, his best friend Iris intervenes and gets him to spend a week of solitude at her family's country cabin. The problem is, Iris' sister Hannah arrives at the cabin with the same idea, nursing a broken heart and a bottle of tequila. After throwing back a few drinks, these two end up getting to know each other a little more intimately. Things only get more muddled when Iris suddenly shows up the next morning, laying the groundwork for a more emotionally complicated few days than anyone had planned, but perhaps they all needed.
