Show Notes

There aren't enough superlatives to describe the seriously underrated masterpiece that is 1957's "Sweet Smell of Success".  Tony Curtis manages to upstage, in many scenes, the one and only Burt Lancaster who gives one of the most diabolical on screen performances as J.J. Hunsecker-a ruthless king maker/breaker in N.Y.C.'s kill or be killed newspaper columnist and publicity scene.  If you don't want to know how the real sausage is made in entertainment, politics, business, etc., then skip this brutal truth of movie platinum!
