Joe Gillis is floating face down in a swimming pool as the homicide squad arrives. As narrator Joe takes us back six months when, unable to sell a script or borrow from anyone, he pulled into 10086 Sunset Boulevard to hide from men who wanted to repossess his car. The owner of the mansion is Norma Desmond, faded star of the silent era. Under the illusion that millions of fans still adore her, Norma is planning a comeback playing the lead in her own screenplay 'Salome'. When she finds out Joe is a writer she wants him to help her with the script. He moves in, becoming a kept man and the object of her obsessive affection. Meantime Joe several times runs into Betty, the script reader who originally rejected his efforts and would now like to collaborate with him. Norma, now jealous as well as possessive and ambitious, receives a call from Paramount which she believes will soon having her working again with C.B. DeMille. The studio only wants the loan of her leopard upholstered Isotta-Fraschini touring car. When Joe walks out on her she fires a pistol at him as he walks toward the pool and we are back where we came in. Norma must face the (newsreel) cameras one last time.

| Actor/Actress : Marilyn Monroe |
|
|
|
| Notes : VERY Rare Italian landscape 4 foglio, art by MAYO, stunning image of the screen goddess Marilyn Monroe. Monroe did not want to make this film but agreed after Fox promised her the lead in Billy Wilder's screen version of the Broadway hit, The Seven Year Itch. The film's storyboard is neither a 'true comedy' nor a 'true melodrama'. The fictitious family-the five Donahues- is depicted in both good time and bad times, a bittersweet mode of musical instead of an old-fashioned one. Marilyn Monroe's fictitious character, as the sixth 'name principal' having a long role in the film, is given a variety of interactions with the fictitious Donahues. She originally attempts to compete with the Donahues as her character climbs the vaudeville ladder on which they have already perched at the top rung, but later makes a very sincere effort to become part of their close-knit, supportive family traditions. The musical seems ahead of its time (in the heyday of MGM musicals) in the sense of a contrasting very forward-looking story format with its old-fashioned musical numbers representing a pastiche of well-known Irving Berlin songs from different eras.

| Notes : You Only Live Twice (United Artists, 1967). Italian 4 - Folio (55' X 78').
Agent 007 teams with the Japanese secret service to put a halt to a series of spacejackings before they provoke a nuclear war between the US and the USSR. This one features the classic volcano hideout and gadget-heavy action antics that informed much of the franchise -- and many other movies -- for years to come. Sean Connery took a break from the role after this film, before returning in Diamonds are Forever (1971) and (unofficially) for Never Say Never Again (1983). . **Note - photo pre-linen-backing. Poster is now LINEN-BACKED. |
