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.

The Apartment (1960)

125 mins

Story stalls out a little at halfway when Fran tries to kill herself.  Interesting that this wake up call moment comes as a result of an overdose and not the rampant alcoholism going on everywhere else in the film.

Late entry of the “ethnic type” – Karl.
