Sunset Boulevard/Trivia


 * Beam Me Up, Scotty: People often misquote this movie's famous line as "I'm ready for my closeup, Mr. DeMille."
 * Executive Meddling: Probably for the better. The original cut of the film involved Joe's corpse talking to other corpses in the morgue, which made test audiences laugh uproariously.
 * Hey It's That Guy: Betty's fiance is Joe Friday.
 * Typecasting: Filmmakers just rehashed Norma whenever they wanted to give Gloria a part in a film after that, and some people still confused Swanson with Desmond.
