📅On November 4th at 7:00pm, visit The Westdale for a screening and film talk of the classic Film Noir movie Sweet Smell of Success!
This event is hosted by Paul Zoccolillo and is part of our Noir-vember Film Talk Series! Partner up with our guest speakers all November long as they take you through the classic world of film noir, cinema’s home to all things existential and hard-boiled, and four of the most impactful pictures this genre has to offer!🕵️
🎬In the swift, cynical Sweet Smell of Success, directed by Alexander Mackendrick, Burt Lancaster stars as the vicious Broadway gossip columnist J. J. Hunsecker, and Tony Curtis as Sidney Falco, the unprincipled press agent Hunsecker ropes into smearing the up-and-coming jazz musician romancing his beloved sister. Featuring deliciously unsavory dialogue, in an acid, brilliantly structured script by Clifford Odets and Ernest Lehman, and noirish neon cityscapes from Oscar-winning cinematographer James Wong Howe, Sweet Smell of Success is a cracklingly cruel dispatch from the K*ll-or-be-killed wilds of 1950s Manhattan.
