‘Sweet Smell of Success’ FILM
‘Sweet Smell of Success’
Central Cinema

Between the annual festivals at SAM and SIFF, Seattle is regularly slathered in film noir—but that hasn’t kept folks from packing into Night & Day, the new series hosted by young noir enthusiast Brandon Ryan at Central Cinema. Tonight’s film is an absolute killer: 1957’s Sweet Smell of Success, in which an amoral press agent (Tony Curtis) grovels exquisitely before the unchecked evil of a Manhattan gossip columnist (Burt Lancaster). Bodies are bartered, lives are ruined, and you’ll feel like you need a shower afterward. It’s brilliant. (Central Cinema, 1411 21st Ave, central-cinema.com, 7 and 9:30 pm, $6 adv/$8 DOS) by David Schmader

If you're into one-of-a-kind dialogue, this is the movie for you. Super fast paced, full of lingo, and noir-ish cinematography. Oh, there's weed, too!
