Sweet Smell of Success is a 1957 American satirical drama film noir directed by Alexander Mackendrick, adapted by Clifford Odets and Ernest Lehman from the latter's 1950 novelette Tell Me About It Tomorrow!. It stars Burt Lancaster, Tony Curtis, Susan Harrison, and Martin Milner. The film tells the story of powerful and sleazy newspaper columnist J.J. Hunsecker (portrayed by Lancaster and based on Walter Winchell) who uses his connections to ruin his sister's relationship with a man he deems unworthy of her. The shadowy noir cinematography filmed on location in New York City was shot by James Wong Howe. The picture was produced by James Hill of Hecht-Hill-Lancaster Productions and released by United Artists. The supporting cast features Sam Levene, Barbara Nichols, Joe Frisco, Edith Atwater, David White, and Emile Meyer.
