Review of Sweet Smell of Success (1957) by Marc R — 08 Feb 2016
This movie conjures such a precise time and place you can smell it, and it's intoxicating. Impossibly cool and cynical dialogue that both sings and bruises, melded to pitch-perfect performances and a rich, sweet and sour evocation of '50s Manhattan that's both venal and hypnotic.
A brilliant film with maybe no equals of its kind.
