Review of Sweet Smell of Success (1957) by Brad G — 20 Oct 2011
"I love this dirty town." There are no greater cinematic bastards than Tony Curtis and Burt Lancaster as Falco and J.J. Hunsecker. Watching Curtis squeeze and sleaze his way through the world of New York press is both painful and delightful--especially when he's bashing up against Lancaster's towering, omnipotent columnist.
And the dialog! "The Cat's in the bag and the bag's in the river." "I'd hate to take a bite out of you. You're a cookie filled with arsenic." Brutal! VF.
