Review of Sweet Smell of Success (1957) by Rami R — 19 Feb 2007
Smart, ultra-hip and uncompromising look at the seedier side of showbiz. Lancaster and Curtis excel as the incestuous, power-mad media mogul and his faustian sidekick respectively.
Great script, cool music (Chico Hamilton) and top-notch cinematography mark this out as one of the great movies of the 50's. Rarely is Hollywood so acidic.
