About this product

Product Information

Director Alexander Mackendrick breaks away from black comedy (THE LADYKILLERS) and goes for full-fledged noir in this spectacular hard-boiled tale of greed, corruption, and brutality. In the flashing neon nighttime of NYC, grasping press agent Sidney Falco (Tony Curtis) trawls the city's toniest nightspots--21,the Elysian--searching for the king of celebrity columnists, J.J. Hunsecker (Burt Lancaster). Falco is on the outs with Hunsecker because he hasn't successfully broken up the romance between Hunsecker's sister, Susie (Susan Harrison), and straitlaced jazz guitarist Steve Dallas (Martin Milner). The all-powerful Hunsecker is punishing Falco's failure by not printing any of the publicist's items. Desperate to make a living, Falco reveals a dirty plan to separate weak-willed Susie from her beau. While disgusted by Falco's slimy trade, the threatening, malicious columnist is determined to keep Susie for himself, so he agrees. In this jazzily scored, seamy nocturnal world, everyone is expendable as Hunsecker pushes for his twisted desires and Falco grasps for success. With their machine-gun dialogue and despicable behavior, Hunsecker and Falco are as dangerous as gangsters. The person who comes out on top when the sun rises, however, is a true surprise.

    Powerful and Hard Hitting

    If you ever wondered just how powerful the media is, this movie explains it. Whether it's 1957 where the newspapers, radio, and television are king, or 2021 where the Internet has taken over, it all comes down to having a following of Believers. The other point this movie makes is that Absolute Power Corrupts Absolutely. Burt Lancaster is the sophisticated version of Andy Griffith's role in A Voice in the Crowd. Both are very scary movies showing that the human condition hasn't changed much. It's an excellent movie out of which was born the 2002 film Phone Booth starring Colin Farrel, Kiefer Sutherland, and Forrest Whitaker.

    Doesn't live up to the hype; the print is only fair

    This movie is considered by some to be one of the best film noirs, but I found all the characters unappealing, the story was very weak, and motivations for what little story there was, was unconvincing. This was a big disappointment.

    1957 Film Boasts Best Screenplay Ever Written

    With a Clifford Odets-Ernest Lehman screenplay of the highest calibre, director and Englishman John Mackendrick, and master cameraman James Wong Howe place us in the middle of late-1950s NYC nightlife in very snazzy black and white at the table next to Burt Lancaster's J.J. Hunsecker, a ruthless. all-powerful newspaper columnist whose acid tongue and pen have stripped the flesh off many a New York entertainer and, even, a U.S. Senator (Hunsecker tells him, "Go and sin no more.") In comes Sidney Falco (Tony Curtis), a hungry, sleazeball press agent, impatient and willing to do anything to win a seat at Hunsecker's table. J.J.'s current job for Falco is to bust-up his sister's relationship with jazz musician and good guy Steve played by Martin Milner. At about any point in time, there are ...

    Sweet Smell of Success

    The acting and the film score are excellent but the two main characters are not what I would call likable. They are great in their roles. A sleazy columnist and promo guy. It’s a very engaging movie. It will keep you on the edge of your seat.

    Great sophisticated movie about power.

    The other review is excellent so I thought I'd simply add that this film is a very rare look at the dark side of power. The characters are all in the grips of a system that makes people use others, think selfishly and abandon their better side. It is a rare realistic look at many levels of cruelty to others in the name of getting ahead, or just surviving. Beautifully written, acted, shot and directed it's a masterpiece of film making. It's entertaining because it is not simplistic and you don't know where it's going as the plot unfolds.
