Sweet Smell of Success

So tired - lots of bad insomnia lately. I'm a little out of it, so this post will probably be pretty short, since I need to get to bed and try to relax. It's so hard for me think straight after a few nights with only an hour or two of sleep. :/

Tonight I watched the movie Sweet Smell of Success, directed by Alexander Mackendrick in 1957. The movie is about J.J., a Broadway columnist for a newspaper, and Sidney Falco, a struggling press agent. J.J. convinces him to break up an affair that he disapproves of, one between J.J.'s sister and a musician. The strange relationships that build this film are really fascinating to watch, be it the odd one between J.J. and Falco, or J.J. and his sister.
