Sweet Smell Of Success (1957)
New York City newspaper writer J.J. Hunsecker (Burt Lancaster) holds considerable sway over public opinion with his Broadway column, but one thing that he can't control is his younger sister, Susan (Susan Harrison), who is in a relationship with aspiring jazz guitarist Steve Dallas (Marty Milner). Hunsecker strongly disproves of the romance and recruits publicist Sidney Falco (Tony Curtis) to find a way to split the couple, no matter how ruthless the method.

Film noir, what critic Roger Ebert once called“the most American film genre,” is known for low-key lighting as dark as a killer’s heart, camera angles more skewed than a gumshoe’s moral compass, and weaving plots as convoluted as was to circumvent the production code.
Join us for a film series of dimly lit alleys, ambivalent motivations, and hapless, hard-drinking men and women who would just as soon K*ll you as love you.
