The Legend of Crombie‘s Gold 4.1: Sweet Smell of Success

It's 1957 and this film noir looks at the vice-ridden underworld of New York's society gossip columnists (yes, really). Tony Curtis plays against type as the amoral press agent, but it's the terrifying menace of J.J. Hunsecker, played by Burt Lancaster, that makes it the opening film in our series. The Legend of Crombie‘s Gold examines a series of thematically-linked films - this time, we're taking a look at the films of Burt Lancaster, as we go From Here To Lancaster!
