Review of Sweet Smell of Success (1957) by Will Y — 03 Sep 2008
Not a single wasted moment in this dialogue driven film noir about a lowlife PR man (Tony Curtis) working the New York city nightlife and a powerful, utterly ruthless gossip columnist (Burt Lancaster) with an incestuous grip on his own younger sister.
Power, sleaze and ambition combine in a twisting, fast-paced immorality play.
