SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS
starstarstarstarstar
"I love this dirty town!" The town being, of course, New York City, and the speaker is the ruthless, Walter Winchell-esque showbiz journalist J.J.

Tony Curtis stars as a Broadway flack who shamelessly panders to the columnist. Read the complete review for Sweet Smell Of Success
