Norma Desmond, a silent-film star mouldering in a decaying mansion on Sunset Boulevard, refuses to accept that the talkies ended her career. When Joe Gillis, a broke young screenwriter, stumbles into her life, she hires him to write her comeback — and he discovers rather too late that he is not the one doing the manipulating.
Andrew Lloyd Webber’s score includes With One Look and As If We Never Said Goodbye.
