For decades, government pundits have dismissed these "coincidental" deaths, even regarding them as "myths" as "urban legends." Like most people, Richard and David were initially unsure about what to make of these 'coincidences'. After all, events don't "consult the odds" prior to happening; they simply happen. Then someone comes along later and figures out what the odds of it happening were. Some of the deaths seemed purely coincidental; heart attacks, hunting accidents.

Interesting Info, Wrong Info In a Repetitive Package
Revisado: 09-07-24
While this book is interesting and the performance is excellent, the repetitiveness in every single chapter made the whole affair feel padded and unseresearched. Additionally, the authors get really basic facts wrong. For example, Daniel Ellsberg was NOT a psychiatrist, as this book asserts in passing. The White House Plumbers broke into Daniel Ellsberg's psychiatrist's office to steal Ellsberg's patient file. Fumbling facts like that bring the larger facts and assertions in the book into question. There are many stories in this work that I will likely research on my own, and I doing so, I expect I'll find even larger, more important factual errors.

Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard, a classic film noir and also a damning dissection of the Hollywood dream factory, evokes the glamour and ruin of the stars who subsist on that dream. It’s also one long in-joke about the movie industry and those who made it great - and who were, in turn, destroyed by it. One of the most critically admired films of the 20th century, Sunset Boulevard is also famous as silent-star Gloria Swanson’s comeback picture.

Starts As A Solid Book, But Then...
Revisado: 01-17-24
This started as a solid (if scattershot) book about the making of a classic film, but then... the characters and works influenced by Sunset Boulevard and Billy Wilder's later filmography are mostly lambasted in the cattiest, low-end prose that becomes tedious after a while. I'd still suggest the book, but maybe duck out about 3 hours before the ending.
