Sweet Smell of Success 1957

Sidney Falco dreams of the moment when he’ll be in control of people’s fates and look down on them from above, just like his idol and best friend, J.J. Hansecker, does. But JJ is angry with Sidney because he failed to carry out the assignment to break up JJ’s sister, Susan, and jazz guitarist Steve. Sidney goes out of his way to win back his benefactor’s favor.
