Movie Reviews of Sweet Smell of Success
Movie Review: 3.5 stars out of 4
Summary: 5 Stars
The Bottom Line:
I'm not sure the ending strikes the right note, but even with a little hiccup Sweet Smell of Success is a fascinating study of human greed and cruelty that is extraordinarily frank and biting for a movie from the 1950s (or any era really); add in a pair of terrific performances by Curtis and Lancaster and it's a heckuva film.
Movie Review: I don't normally...
Summary: 5 Stars
...say that people who don't like this or that movie are or aren't idiots who should body-surf a table saw, but anyone who doesn't or can't appreciate 'Sweet Smell of Success' should do just that.
The plot is a pretzel full of arsenic. The dialogue is a machine gun full of the same. SEE THIS FILM.
Movie Review: Great acting, great writing. A great movie.
Summary: 5 Stars
As a New Yorker, I really appreciate this film. It is so true to the time and the place. I hung around Broadway and dined at 21. This film captures it all. This is in my opinion the best thing Tony Curtis has done. He and Lancaster play off each other in such a deadly way. Such a pleasure to watch this film.Movie Review: Absolute power corrupts absolutely
Summary: 5 Stars
Since I really despise long-winded, puffed up pseudo-intellectual reviews, I'll keep this simple. This flick is INTENSE! It's dark and dirty film noir at its finest with lead characters you love to hate. Do yourself a favor and add this film to your collection.Movie Review: a truly great classic
Summary: 5 Stars
tony curtis and burt lancaster both turn in excellent performances in this very well written and very well directed drama/thriller. i happened upon it on tv late one night and was totally hooked. would definitely recommend as one to own
