the dialogue was dialoguing

i take this as my sign to finally watch this, it's been on my watchlist for too long

Burt was actually a talented gymnast until he hurt his hand. One of the most athletic leading men in Hollywood history. Throw a pair of glasses on him and he's Atticus Finch

@forgetitjake Smart people talking to other smart people. Film writing didn’t do enough of that. Then, or especially now.

The way the camera pans to the puffy-eyed agent, then swings wildly over to the blonde starlet, then to the Senator.

Finally watched this about three years ago and it is now something I revisit at least three times a year. Just perfection.

Felt so grimy after watching this.

“Good evening, Mr. and Mrs. America from border to border and coast to coast and all the ships at sea. Let’s go to press!”

Incredible use of black and white. This is one heckuva film.

Name?

The Sweet Smell of Success

Ok I had a feeling it might be but i wasn’t sure.

Way ahead of its time for 1957

The camera swing is just 🤌
