I find that many student films are too long simply because not enough effort has been put into the hard work of making them short.

THE WOMEN OF SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS (1957)

Susan Hunsecker: Who could love a man who makes you jump through burning hoops like a trained poodle? Sally: Sidney, you make a living. Where do you want to get? Mary: But don’t do it like a little boy stealing gum from a slot machine. Rita: You’re a snake, Falco. You’re a louse, a real louse. Loretta Bartha: Leo, this is the first clean thing I’ve seen you do in years. Linda James: Me, with my Jersey City brains?

HBIC #i cheer every single rewatch at mrs bartha's scene #the extremely small pool of fem charas means i get to include a side chara like linda james #i debated about that a bit #and yeah jj belittles her so terribly #and she's framed as a bimbz etc etc #but what strikes me is how she grabs the opportunity to speak FOR HERSELF rather than be presented by the men around her #and also how she is meant to be a mirror to sidney in that scene..... (senator's side piece coughs) #so yeah she is sufficiently significant yeah #so many shades of women <3
