Voted : Was Billy Wilder's second choice for 'Sunset Boulevard' (after Monty Clift declined).
I'd just like to know whether or not he ever actually got romantic with Nancy Kwan.

By the way, "Sunset Boulevard" has to be one one of my top-ten favorite films of all time. Billy Wilder's a genius, and the whole cast is just great, especially the low-key Erich von Stroheim, who gets overshadowed while Gloria Swanson chews up several rooms full of scenery with her over-the-top acting.

Even Jack Webb appears to be acting, which is a new one for Mr. "Dragnet" himself.

By the way, I'd pay big money to see a film of William Holden bitch slapping Jerry Lewis into next week. Please tell me this took place on camera...

...Or did Dean Martin buy up the only copy, to show at Rat Pack parties?

Didn't know this, and would like to thank him for it when we meet On High. And, Felix- I won't fault you for that. ^^^^ biggrin

I could look at photos of a twenty-something Nancy Kwan all week. *L*

What normal American man hasn't wanted to see someone just beat Jerry Lewis senseless?

This lil' tidbit jus' made my year! God I'd love to have seen that! All the more reason to admire Bill Holden. A REAL "man's man." Tell me he did it sober.
