“Sweet Smell of Success. Oh my God, I just love Tony Curtis in it for being the rat he was. He's a slimeball and he's always scurrying around, but Burt Lancaster is pulling the strings. He's J. J. Hunsecker, and he kind of represents a kind of Walter Winchell character, like a right-wing power monger that's evil. In the spirit of the '50s, they don't really succeed in the end, but in Real Life they would have, and they will, and they do today over and over.”
