Line 1:
{{work}}
* [[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.
Line 11 ⟶ 10:
* [[Those Two Actors]]: After the success of the film, this was attempted with William Holden and Nancy Olson; they appeared in three further films together, but none of them was really successful.
* [[Typecasting]]: Filmmakers just [[Follow the Leader|rehashed Norma]] whenever they wanted to give Gloria a part in a film after that, and some people still confused Swanson with Desmond.
* [[What Could Have Been]]:
*
** [[Stephen Sondheim]] began work on a musical version, before the release of Andrew Lloyd Webber's play. He abandoned the project due to Billy Wilder saying that he'd prefer a ''Sunset Boulevard'' opera to a musical.
