Review of Sweet Smell of Success (1957) by Joel A — 24 Mar 2010
A film really about characters & no real existent plot, however the characters where very interesting. Lancaster & Curtis where amazing as the two leads they are completely ruthless and immorral but entertaining to watch.
Shot effectively in a noir style in and on location in New York City. Althouh you don't really care for the characters you enjoy watching and seeing where they will end up. Tom Cruise said that Tony Curtis' character (Sidney Falco) was a major inspiration for him in playing Jerry McGuire.
