This review is from: Burt Lancaster: A Filmography and Biography (Hardcover)

Dave Fury's similar treatment, (1989) will be re-issued in 2002. Ed's filmography is the definitive narrative, useful key to popular 'cult' classic 50's film starring Burt..."Sweet Smell of Success" for which Ann Hornaday, ex-film critic Baltimore Sun, has a book in development.
