George opines on Alexander Macendrick's Sweet Smell of Success from 1957, starring Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis. A wonderful dark drama with a great script and spectacular cinematography. Using the book On Filmmaking: An Introduction to the Craft of the Director- a collection of Mackendrick's teaching notes and drawings, edited by Paul Cronin- as a window into understanding the film's brilliance- hopefully you will all come away with knowledge of some of Mackendrick's basic tenants on dialogue, conversational scenes, blocking, and narrative construction in film.
