Odetiquette

In my tribute to Ernest Lehman, I guessed he was the main writer behind Sweet Smell Of Success. But according to Peter Bogdanovich, on page 13 of Who The Hell's In It, the glorious dialogue is by Clifford Odets. Even though he was a friend of Odets, I consider Bogdanovich a reliable source.

Still, the plot and setting are pretty original, so Ernest isn't completely left out in the cold. And nothing can take North By Northwest away.
