Sunset Boulevard (1950)



Yes, this is Sunset Boulevard, Los Angeles, California.

It's about five o'clock in the morning.

That's the Homicide Squad, complete with detectives and newspaper men.

A murder has been reported from one of those great big houses in the ten thousand block.

You'll read all about it in the late editions, I'm sure.

You'll get it over your radio, and see it on television – because an old-time star is involved.

One of the biggest.

But before you hear it all distorted and blown out of proportion, before those Hollywood columnists get their hands on it, maybe you'd like to hear the facts, the whole truth…
