Sweet Smell of Success review

“Dog eat dog…every dog has it’s day” - Sidney. One of those highly acclaimed classics and stunning cast that left this critic puzzled about the overall output. The story of press agent Sidney Falco (Tony Curtis) and J.J. Hunsecker's (Burt Lancaster). Score was wonderful and settings well researched.
A typical "talkies" flick with a lot of moving around. Wonderfully scored coupled with amazing performances. Screenplay was fair with lines: "In brief, from now on, the best of everything is good enough for me." "Dallas, your mouth is as big as a basket and twice as empty! " Sweet Smell of Success maybe popular and recognized, for this rater there just no immediate impact and interesting figures to enjoy from. For media personel related movies, this critic prefers Network, Broadcast News or Sunset Blvd.
