Sweet Smell of Success

Sweet Smell of Success is a good example of a noir-ish movie, with a jazz score, but with two leading men, neither of whom are particularly attractive characters.

Lancaster exudes power as the Broadway columnist, J J Hunsecker, and while Curtis’ Sidney Falco has his attractive moments, he’s mainly sleazy and obsequious.

This is Card #7 from the original release US lobby card set showing J.J. Hunsecker (Lancaster) with sister Susan (Susan Harrison).
