Titulo original: Sweet Smell of Success
Resumen: Burt Lancaster y Tony Curtis se adentran en el misterioso mundo de la fauna nocturna que puebla el centro de Manhattan, en un juego siniestro de poder y en un universo de supervivencia. Con uno de los diálogos más corrosivos del cine de todos los tiempos esta película es uno de los títulos más grandes que Hollywood ha creado. Burt Lancaster, encarna a un poderoso, famoso y ambicioso columnista que domina toda una ciudad a través de la información que habitualmente consumen sus más de 60 millones de lectores. Pero como todo el mundo tiene un punto débil: su hermana pequeña. Todo cambiará cuando ésta se enamora apasionadamente de un guitarrista de jazz y los instintos más básicos del periodista salgan a relucir.
