Review of Sweet Smell of Success (1957) by Mike K — 04 Jul 2008
Tony Curtis shines as a sleazy press agent "immersed in the theology of making a fast buck" while Burt Lancaster is a powerful New York columnist who uses Curtis to sabotage the romance between his sister and a jazz musician.
Of course, things don't go exactly as planned (do they ever?). Sweet Smell of Success exposes the underbelly of New York's social scene and the high price of publicity. Great noir fare.
