Noir Alley: Sweet Smell Of Success (1957) intro 20191103 

I love all those dialogs like dog eat dog , the cat is the bag etc

One of my all time favorite films. The screenplay and dialogue is just off the charts. Lancaster and Curtis are in top form. And there is the amazing cinema work by the great artist James Wong Howe

This film probably is the best film.i seen tony , caster together is like a atomic bomb of talent exploding in new york

Thnx 4 upploading this. Much love to noir🖤 From spain

Ernest Lehman personally told me he based his novel on "Walter Winchell" and his daughter.

My favorite line is when JJ and Sidney observe the drunk getting rousted from the club. After watching J.J. turns from the spectacle, the neon light illuminates his face, and with a sincere smile, he says " IIII- LOVE THIS DURTEE TOWN"🤣🤣🤣❤️❤️❤️

It's usually Carney Tynes who posts these. Imagine my surprise.

Now if only Odets could have done a better job on the stilted dialogue in Clash by Night and The Big Knife. Fortunately, the performances rescued the former. The latter was unwatchable.

There's no murder, but every character is ethically bankrupt. Spiritually, they're all dead. That's what makes it noir. Sidney's secretary, Leo's wife, Sally and Steve are the only people whose souls aren't black.
