Sweet Smell of Success (1957)

96 min

Solid.  Some great menacing shots of Lancaster.  Interesting in that there are no guns.  Outstanding on location shots in New York.

Ace in the Hole (1951)

112 mins

Scams, cons, corruption, manipulation.  Early gem of a media circus in the desert.  Post war cynicism.  Billy Wilder on a roll.  Fabulous on location shooting.

Sabrina (1954)

Not a whole lot of interest.  A 54 year old Bogart living at home seems a stretch.
