Review of Sweet Smell of Success (1957) by Mark Q — 14 Aug 2011
A strikingly cynical, hard-edged & atmospheric noir with the best performances of the careers of two Hollywood legends!!! This film also features one of the sharpest scripts ever in a major film, terrific direction from MacKendrick & some fine supporting performances & encounters.
A real insight into the dark, sleazy world of press agents, publicity & the lengths some will go to in order to 'make it,' Sweet Smell Of Success is as gripping & relevant today as it was in 1957!!!
