Sunset Boulevard By Way of Wadi Shahrour: A Psychological Profile of Our National Norma Desmond

In biology, senescence is the state or process of aging, the inevitable stage that marks our later life, and that is invariably accompanied by deterioration in certain areas of functioning.Although aging is common to all mortals, there is a morbid fascination with how it affects celebrities, particularly women who have made a career out of looking beautiful, set many fashion trends, and left indelible marks on the arts and in the field of entertainment.

The Old Dependables

Six months ago I discussed in Film Quarterly a small group of American film-makers, younger directors struggling for the inside position from which to make films of, for, and by themselves. I also noted that we were not always getting the films from the old masters that we might expect from them. Since this time, four of these gentlemen, with records of film-making stretching back into the silent period, have come out with new films: Some Like It Hot by Billy Wilder, The Nun's Story by Fred Zinnemann, The Horse Soldiers by John Ford, and Pork Chop Hill by Lewis Milestone. George Stevens' long-awaited production of The Diary of Anne Frank is also in release, William Wyler is completing Ben Hur, and Stanley Kramer, a relative newcomer, is completing On the Beach. These are all men who appear, from the outside, to have earned the right to make the films of their own choosing, in their own way. Each has experienced critical and boxoffice success. Sunset Boulevard, Double Indemnity, The Lost Weekend by Wilder; High Noon, From Here to Eternity, Member of the Wedding by Zinnemann; Stagecoach, The Informer, Grapes of Wrath, The Long Voyage Home by Ford; All Quiet on the Western Front, A Walk in the Sun, Of Mice and Men by Milestone-these titles read, in their way, like a history of the recent American cinema. But as we shall see, it is an oversimplification to lump together men of this caliber with this kind of credential, to expect the same kind of thing from them, or to expect them to function in a given period in the same way. In an attempt toward balancing the books, toward correcting any one-sided emphasis on unbridled youth and unmitigated good will (or gall) in my earlier article, I talked with as many of these gentlemen as I was able to meet in the time available to me. The result was at times surprising, at others disheartening, and was not always as clear as I would have wished.

The Motion Picture and the Novel

NEWSPAPER comment on the awards granted in 1951 by the Motion Picture Academy of Arts and Sciences made play with the fact that three of the four Oscars for acting went to stage actors performing movie adaptations of roles they had created in the theater: Jose Ferrer in Cyrano, Judy Holliday in Born Yesterday, and Josephine Hull in Harvey. And, it was pointed out in climax, the winning film, Joseph Mankiewicz's All About Eve, is a story about theatrical people. The imputation seemed to be that Hollywood is drawing closer and closer to Broadway. This imputation is, fortunately, only partly true. So far as players go, the closer the rapprochement between theater and screen, the better. The fundamentals of the art of acting are the same in both mediums; to shift now and then from one to the other is, most actors find, instructive and refreshing. But close relationships between movies and stage plays are likely to be disastrous. Hollywood is becoming increasingly aware of this and it is comforting to find that the Academy Awards for the best screen plays went to none of the Broadway adaptations whose actors were honored but to three stories created for the screen: All About Eve (that it deals with the theater is merely coincidental), Sunset Boulevard, and Panic in the Streets. Since the awards express the judgment of thousands of members of the motion picture profession, this is, one may hope, a sign that the makers of movies are increasingly conscious of the precise relationship between their art and her elder sisters. The belief that a movie is simply a photographed stage play is dying but it dies hard. It would have perished long since, of course, if sound had not, in 1929, been added to the movie medium. When the
