Sadie Thompson
"The Trespasser" was an important film for Swanson, following the financially disastrous "Queen Kelly" (1929) and the hit "Sadie Thompson" (1928). This was Swanson's second Oscar nomination. Despite the disappointments following "The Trespasser," Swanson was remembered by Billy Wilder, a screenwriter on "Music in the Air" (1934), when he was casting the part of Norma Desmond for "Sunset Boulevard" (1950).
