Sweet Smell of Success (1957)- "This one is toting that one... for you" 1 min Film School

How to write great dialogue like this scene? Well you cannot. It's too perfect. This sequence might be the greatest in it's genre, writers Clifford Odets and Ernest Lehman somehow manage to establish plot, characters, mood, subtext with five people talking amongst themselves... and Burt Lancaster in full cry. DR Alexander Mackendrick uses the camera in one deft move to climax this great scene.   / djhfilmfoto
