Sweet Smell of Success (1957)

Ernest Lehman drew upon his experiences as a Broadway press agent to write the devastating a clef short story "Tell Me About Tomorrow." This in turn was adapted by Lehman and Clifford Odets into the sharp-edged, penetrating feature film Sweet Smell of Success. Burt Lancaster stars as J. J. Hunsecker, a Walter Winchell-style columnist who wields his power like a club, steamrolling friends and enemies alike. Tony Curtis co-stars as Sidney Falco, a sycophantic press agent who'd sell his grandmother to get an item into Hunsecker's popular newspaper column. Hunsecker enlists Falco's aid in ruining the reputation of jazz guitarist Steve Dallas (Martin Milner), who has had the temerity to court Hunsecker's sister Susan (Susan Harrison). Falco contrives to plant marijuana on Dallas, then summons corrupt, sadistic NYPD officer Harry Kello (Emile Meyer), who owes Hunsecker several favors, to arrest the innocent singer. The real Walter Winchell, no longer as powerful as he'd been in the 1940s but still a man to be reckoned with, went after Ernest Lehman with both barrels upon the release of Sweet Smell of Success. Winchell was not so much offended by the unflattering portrait of himself as by the dredging up of an unpleasant domestic incident from his past. While Success was not a success at the box office, it is now regarded as a model of street-smart cinematic cynicism. The electric performances of the stars are matched by the taut direction of Alex MacKendrick, the driving jazz score of Elmer Bernstein, and the evocative nocturnal camerawork of James Wong Howe. - by Hal Erickson - allmovie

The Naked City (1948)

Young model Jean Dexter is knocked unconscious and drowned in her own bathtub in her Manhattan apartment, and a lot of jewelry that she supposedly owned is missing. The Naked City is actually about six days in the life of New York City that coincide with the murder and the subsequent investigation by Lt. Dan Muldoon (Barry Fitzgerald) and Detective James Halloran (Don Taylor). The account of their work, and the workings of the New York City police department, is interspersed with brief vignettes about the life of the city around them, and, especially, the reaction of residents to the murder and the newspaper reports of the progress of the case.

Stars Peter Sellers, George C. Scott, Sterling Hayden, Keenan Wynn, Slim Pickens

Directors: Stanley Kubrick

Theatrical Release Date: January 29, 1964

Rating PG. Rated PG for thematic elements, some violent content, sexual humor and mild language. (2005 re-rating)

Genres: Comedy, Thriller

Synopsis: U.S. Air Force General Jack Ripper goes completely and utterly mad, and sends his bomber wing to destroy the U.S.S.R. He suspects that the communists are conspiring to pollute the “precious bodily fluids” of the American people. The U.S. president meets with his advisors, where the Soviet ambassador tells him that if the U.S.S.R. is hit by nuclear weapons, it will trigger a “Doomsday Machine” which will destroy all plant and animal life on Earth. Peter Sellers portrays the three men who might avert this tragedy: British Group Captain Lionel Mandrake, the only person with access to the demented Gen. Ripper; U.S. President Merkin Muffley, whose best attempts to divert disaster depend on placating a drunken Soviet Premier and the former Nazi genius Dr. Strangelove, who concludes that “such a device would not be a practical deterrent for reasons which at this moment must be all too obvious”. Will the bombers be stopped in time, or will General Jack Ripper succeed in destroying the world ?

2001: A Space Odyssey




Stars Keir Dullea, Gary Lockwood, William Sylvester, Daniel Richter, Leonard Rossiter

Directors: Stanley Kubrick

Theatrical Release Date: April 6, 1968

Rating G

Genres: Adventure, Sci-Fi

Synopsis: This movie is concerned with intelligence as the division between animal and human, then asks a question; what is the next division? Technology is treated as irrelevant to the quest - literally serving as mere vehicles for the human crew, and as a shell for the immature HAL entity. Story told as a montage of impressions, music and impressive and careful attention to subliminal detail. A very influential film and still a class act, even after 25 years.

The Killing


Stars Sterling Hayden, Coleen Gray, Vince Edwards, Jay C. Flippen, Elisha Cook Jr., Marie Windsor

Directors: Stanley Kubrick

Theatrical Release Date
: 1956

Rating Unrated

Genres: Crime, Drama, Thriller, Film-Noir

This excellent early film by director Stanley Kubrick is a thrilling crime drama. Kubrick also wrote the screenplay, adapting a Lionel White novel (with additional dialogue from Jim Thompson). A team of specialists, led by Sterling Hayden as Johnny Clay, plots a daring racetrack robbery. Coleen Gray plays Clay's girlfriend Fay, Marie Windsor as one of the gang member's (another nervous character by Elisha Cook Jr.) wife whose affair with a tough guy (Vince Edwards) that wants in on the deal may lead to its undoing, and Jay Flippen (among others) are also featured. Don't let the fact that this one was ignored by the Academy dissuade you from seeing it!
