Sweet Smell of Success (Alexander Mackendrick, 1957). A creepy, controlling newspaper columnist (Burt Lancaster) wants to end his sister's relationship with a jazz musician and asks Tony Curtis to split up the couple. Noirish and beautifully lit, with a superb script. But bleak. #SweetSmellOfSuccess
Raúl Esparza and Ali Louis Bourzgui headlined a compelling revisal of Marvin Hamlisch's 2002 musical, #SweetSmellOfSuccess, under the assured direction and baton of MasterVoices Artistic Director Ted Sperling:

I think it’s Curtis’s anger and arrogance that help make his performance as Sidney Falco so compelling and believable. #SweetSmellOfSuccess #tcmparty
And now I see why Milner is good casting—he needs to be the honest, earnest young white boy who won’t take Hunsecker’s BS, even if it costs him Susie. His performance here is really good. I wonder what it was like telling off Burt Lancaster? #SweetSmellOfSuccess #tcmparty
There is a very Stephen Miller quality to Curtis’s Sidney Falco—so warped by envy, grievance, and hatred that he spends all day and all night destroying people going to please a man with no loyalty or gratitude for his efforts. #SweetSmellOfSuccess #tcmparty

Rita calling Falco "eyelashes" is perfect. Lol! #SweetSmellofSuccess #TCMParty
Susan Harris is great at weary, bemused resignation, a skill she displays again as the ballerina in the amazing “Twilight Zone” episode “Five Characters in Search of an Exit.” #SweetSmellOfSuccess #tcmparty
The thought of Pete Malloy being accused of cannabis possession…the mind boggles. #SweetSmellOfSuccess #tcmparty
Officer Pete Malloy. 😍 #SweetSmellofSuccess #TCMParty
I could listen for hours to Jamie Lee Curtis discuss "Hollywood".
And, I dig #SweetSmellOfSuccess
The lighting, the soundtrack, the snappy patter.

What Makes Sidney Run?

Looks like Sydney just flew too close to the sun. #SweetSmellOfSuccess #TCMParty
“Why should you be happy when I’m not?” This script is like, pure brutality. #tcmparty #sweetsmellofsuccess
Integrity, acute, like indigestion #SweetSmellOfSuccess #TCMParty
Am I the only one up still? #sweetsmellofsuccess, Lancaster , the edit, the utter LACK of shadow (cept where necessary- Lancaster) til necessary. But old me LOVES Burt Lancaster. I love his producer mind of a poor kid #tcmparty & I love a good guy who chooses the villain.
So I saw #sweetsmellofsuccess older. Not on my little b/w tv on the kitchen table w/ antenna. & I’m already in love w/ Tony C. Then Lancaster’s cool saavy cruelty, I HATED (? Ugh not really/ fucking charm) HIM. These movies are not good for the ladies lives. #tcmparty
The cinematography of #SweetSmellofSuccess draws me in every time. #TCMParty
My DVR is too full! Bye some Independent Lens. Cause #sweetsmellofsuccess is being ‘taped’. #tcmparty Lancaster is BEAST in this. But so was Walter Winchell.
You're dead, son. Get yourself buried. #SweetSmellofSuccess #TCMParty
I did not know that Susan Harrison was Darva Conger’s mother. Wow. #WhoWantstoMarryaMultimillionaire #SweetSmellofSuccess #TCMParty
