Discussion | Film Scholar Discusses Sunset Boulevard for Its 75th Birthday


Enjoy a discussion on the making of Sunset Boulevard with author David M. Lubin and host Scott Adlerberg, film connoisseur. By exploring the history of Sunset Boulevard in time for the movie’s 75th anniversary, from its inception to its making its present-day legacy, David M. Lubin's Ready for My Close-Up breathes life into a beloved masterpiece of American cinema, not only marking its influential place in film history, but also proving how prescient it really was in terms of the human costs of relentless technological change and our obsessive quest for fame, youth, and immortality. David M. Lubin has written seven books, including an in-depth study of the blockbuster film Titanic. His Shooting Kennedy: JFK and the Culture of Images won the Smithsonian Institution’s Charles C. Eldredge Prize for “distinguished scholarship in American art.”  Scott Adlerberg is the author of five novels, including Graveyard Love, Jack Waters, and The Screaming Child. He has written many short stories and contributes pieces regularly to sites such as CrimeReads and Mystery Tribune.
