Both Billy Wilder’s Sunset Boulevard (1950), and Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly’s Singin’ in the Rain (1952) tell the story about the film industry’s transition from silent pictures to “talkies,” however, they are drastically different in their themes and genres.

Billy Wilder takes a darker approach to the transition to sound by depicting an actress, Norma Desmond, played by Gloria Swanson, that is left behind by the advent of sound unable to act. Stanley Donen and Gene Kelly take the opposite angle and completely contrast Wilder’s film with a spoof film about the movement to sound films. The clear contrast between these two films is seen in their camerawork. Wilder instills fear and sadness, while Donen and Kelly emit joy and laughter through their film.
