Sweet Smell of Success (1957)
Adult Audiovisual DVD - Swe

"Powerful but unethical Broadway columnist J.J. Hunsecker coerces unscrupulous press agent Sidney Falco into breaking up his sister's romance with a jazz musician."
The mood of noir oozes out of this film where Burt Lancaster's Hunsecker (reportedly based on the real-life actions of Walter Winchell) and Tony Curtis' Falco are just plain, horrible people. But the dialogue is to die for: "You're dead, son. Get yourself buried." See Lancaster in other noirs like: Criss Cross and The Killers.
