Sweet Smell of Success 1957
I’m so sad I’ve gone 25 years of my life without this movie. Easily one of my all-time favorites now. Blackmail! Infidelity! Showbiz! Tony Curtis and those eyes! If this movie sucks then I’m a pretzel, or something like that.
Also James Wong Howe <3 shows his mastery of the camera yet again. -
On the Waterfront 1954
“You wanna hear my philosophy of life? Do it to him before he does it to you.”
Elia Kazan really had the gall to make this as a way to defend himself post-blacklist but my god am I glad we were able to see Brando and Eva Marie Saint give such incredible performances. Both clearly such natural talents and maybe one of the best introductory performances ever by Saint.
