Criterion Hints at Sweet Smell of Success.

[John Johnson]

In its Facebook page, The Criterion Collection has posted a photograph that shows a classic movie being prepared for Blu-ray release: Sweet Smell of Success (Alexander Mackendrick, 1957). Previously, the studio's newsletter had featured a picture probably hinting at the release of The Night of the Hunter (Charles Laughton, 1955). Both films come from the United Artists library and hence have apparently been licensed to Criterion by MGM. No street date or release details are available.

If Criterion is doing SWEET SMELL, let's hope they talk to Curtis before it is too late-he did not look too good when I saw him at the TCM Festival in April.

And it is good to think that NIGHT OF THE HUNTER will [u]finally[/u] be available in its proper aspect ratio from this company. Curious to see what the extras will be...
