Sunset Boulevard is a *spectacular* comp for this sadness. Dorian Gray maybe not *quite* so much (also, there it was actually his portrait in the attic that was going visually downhill) … but the film that the saga at hand reminds me of more than anything else is actually the wonderful 1949 Alec Guinness movie Kind Hearts and Coronets from the Ealing Studios … later also made into the entertaining play A Gentleman's Guide to Love & Murder. But the chameleon-like Guinness of 1949 is a joy to behold. Well worth a watch for anyone who needs a break from 21st c. reality …
Another movie this reminds me of is the classic "Arsenic and Old Lace" 1944 with Cary Grant. Somehow seems to be very fitting for these two, since bodies have been dropping everywhere. MOO
