Review of Sweet Smell of Success (1957) by Joey K — 06 Jun 2011
Sweet Smell of Success is brilliant, featuring one of the most well-crafted screenplays of all time. The dialogue is snazzy and biting, ricocheting from one character to the next. The film speeds along breezily, relying on strong characters and an involving story with multiple mini sub-plots.
Mackendrick's film brings 1950's NYC to life on the big screen, containing characteristic noir lighting to complement its equally sharp script and cast. This really is a classic gem. "I love this dirty town.
