START the picture with the actual street sign:
SUNSET BOULEVARD, stencilled on a curbstone.
In the gutter lie dead leaves, scraps of paper,
burnt matches and cigarette butts. It is early
winter.
A-2
INT. HILLSIDE HOUSE NEAR SUNSET BOULEVARD.
MAN'S VOICE
I know your face.
You're Martin Lewis.
You used to be in showbiz.
You used to be big.
MARTIN
I AM big.
It's the business that got small...
Wishing you a BIG New Year
(Perhaps I'm NOT ready
for my close-up Mr. DeMille)
