Sunset Boulevard (blu-ray)


Sunset Boulevard

Billy Wilder’s masterpiece Sunset Boulevard was first released on blu-ray by Paramount in 2012. The disc included a newly-discovered deleted scene, in which lyricists Ray Livingston and Ray Evans sing one of their own compositions, The Paramount Don’t Want Me Blues. The song was cut from the film — and replaced with Buttons and Bows — because the studio considered it too much of an inside joke, though plenty more inside jokes survived the edit.
