A powerful newspaper columnist (Burt Lancaster) and a Manhattan press agent (Tony Curtis) tear into the maelstrom of midtown Manhattan’s nightlife in a sinister game that involves money, power, and ultimately survival. This treacherous Machiavellian tale—with a screenplay by Clifford Odets and Ernest Lehman, from his novel—is one of “fake news” and worse. And on the 60th anniversary of its release, it feels more relevant now than ever.
