Sweet Smell of Success


"FOUR STARS! A Great Movie! An extraordinary American noir.” -Roger Ebert, Sun-Times

"If there’s anything wrong with this movie, we can’t think what it might be. It’s a masterpiece." -Time Out Chicago

Director Alexander Mackendrick goes for full-fledged noir in this spectacular hard-boiled tale of greed, corruption, and brutality. In the flashing neon nighttime of NYC, a press agent played by Tony Curtis trawls the city's toniest nightspots searching for a dirty plan to break up the romance between a jazz guitarist and the sister of a powerful celebrity columnist played by Burt Lancaster. (1957, 96m)
