Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis star in this drama about a newspaper columnist who pays a desperate and corrupt press agent to break up his sister’s romance with a jazz musician…by any means necessary. See Curtis at his dramatic best in this dark and gritty film noir that remains a touchstone for journalists and their critics alike.
