Ep. 213- Sweet Smell of Success

Match me, Sidney!

We’re taking a look at one of the most uncompromising, ruthless films of the 1950s this week. 1957’s Sweet Smell of Success is a movie unlike any other. Brandon and Emmett Stanton take a look at the unforgettable performances of Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis as J.J. Hunsecker and Sidney Falco. The acidly poetic screenplay by Ernest Lehman and Clifford Odets remains one of the wittiest ever seen on celluloid. The conversation also praises the direction by Alexander McKendrick, cinematography by James Wong Howe and score by Elmer Bernstein.

FEATURING: Brandon Davis and Emmett Stanton
