Review of Sweet Smell of Success (1957) by Kenneth L — 20 Aug 2010
I've known in my life and seen in movies real sons of bitches who, as someone wisely says here, live by the philosophy of making a quick buck everyday without knowing nor caring about how their decisions would affect others.
Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis both play that kind of immoral and selfish weasel with absolute perfection. two hustlers, one at the top of the food chain and the other one intending to fit in those shoes someday. They can't get enough of spreading all their malice over some very few honest citizens that inhabit their corrupt domains.
Stylishly directed and photographed. Written with tremendous perspicacity and wit. The pen is mightier than the sword, indeed.
