Sunset Boulevard: The Real Story Behind the New Restoration

Step into the world of faded glory and timeless brilliance as Charlotte and Adam dive into the restoration of Billy Wilder’s masterpiece, Sunset Blvd. (1950). Charlotte takes you behind the scenes of the meticulous restoration process—sharing the challenges with picture and audio, and triumphs of bringing this classic back to life—while Adam peels back the curtain on the original production, with tales of Wilder, Swanson, Holden, and the making of one of Hollywood’s sharpest portraits of itself.

This episode also features a special recreation of the film’s long-lost original opening—and a few surprises along the way. It’s film restoration the way you’ve come to expect from Perf Damage: equal parts history, storytelling, and movie magic.
