Sunset Boulevard
A broke screenwriter dodging the men who want his car pulls into the driveway of a decaying mansion on Sunset Boulevard and finds Norma Desmond, a silent-film star waiting for her return to the screen. She hires him to fix the script she has written for herself, and the job quietly becomes an occupation. Hollywood devouring its own past.
