Sweet Smell of Success    

Dir: Alexander Mackendrick: USA 1957 (97 mins)

New York City newspaper writer J J Hunsecker holds considerable sway over public opinion with his Broadway column, but one thing that he can’t control is his younger sister, Susan, who is in a relationship with aspiring jazz guitarist Steve Dallas. Hunsecker strongly disapproves of the romance and recruits publicist Sidney to find a way to split the couple, no matter how ruthless the method.
