I thought it was multiple dead people in the morgue talking. That would be funny. Of course my memory is probably wrong.

Sunset Boulevard originally opened with William Holden's corpse being wheeled through a hospital as he narrates how he got there: with a mortuary tag on his big toe. Preview audiences saw this and HOWLED with laughter. The tone was all wrong. The footage was removed and the rest is the movie history. ________________________________ From: Richard C Evans <[email protected]> To: [email protected] Sent: Thursday, 15 March 2012, 20:46 Subject: Re: [MOPO] Sunset Blvd lobby card #2 - Swimming Pool! Genius beginning to a movie, probably my all time favourite lobby card, and for me best piece for that title. On 15 Mar 2012, at 19:17, Neil Jaworski wrote: Great film, great card, great scene. And not only one of the iconic scenes in movie history, but one of the most ingenious (via filming a mirror that exactly fit the dimensions of the pool floor). I'd love more of that kind of American know-how in films these days, rather than yawny-boring CGI.
