Andrew Lloyd Webber's Sunset Boulevard is one of the most successful musicals of all time - based on the original Billy Wilder film, Lloyd Webber has transformed the story into a stage production brilliantly translating its atmosphere of romance, decadence and cynicism into a haunting score, with lyrics by Don Black and Christopher Hamilton. Wilder's classic study of obsession in Hollywood appeared in 1950 starring Gloria Swanson, and as an introduction to the film George Perry looks at the famous street, examines the background of silent movies, discusses its significance and importance in American cinema.
