...Starbucks without turning heads, and unlike a certain teen star with similar pull, she won't be caught prancing around with a snake on her shoulders. Skinning it with a flint knife would be more her style: Auel is the author of the Neolithic saga The Clan of the Cave Bear and its four sequels...
...Rieslings. The Gibbston Valley vineyard sells nearly half of its acclaimed Pinot Noirs to some 125,000 tourists a year, many of whom come to the tasting rooms on day excursions from the nearby adventure sports capital Queenstown. Visitors can tour the vineyard and the cool, concrete-lined cave where wine sits in racked barrels before sitting down to lunch in a shady outdoor restaurant...

He has no lineage; he created himself, in the dark, dank, rank cave of his ambitions. The film is interested only in how he gets by in this "dog-eat-dog" world. ("Every dog will have his day," says the movie Sidney, who's full of animal metaphors.) At its black heart, "Sweet Smell" is about that honorable, horrible thing called work. Take Sidney...
