NOIR CITY 7: THE KILLERS / SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS
1:00, 7:00
THE KILLERS
(1946, Universal, 103 min., dir. Robert Siodmak)
NOIR CITY is proud to present the exclusive premiere of Universal's brand-new 35-mm restoration (including a totally remastered soundtrack) of the film that's been called the Citizen Kane of film noir. It's all here: murder, betrayal, lust, flashbacks, sumptuous visuals, double- and triple-crosses, whipcrack dialogue . . . and sexy young'ns Burt Lancaster and Ava Gardner erupting into stardom.
3:15, 9:30
SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS
(1957, United Artists, 96 min., scr. Clifford Odets, dir. Alexander Mackendrick)
Our ode to the newspaper business concludes with the nastiest, most acid-tongued indictment of the power of the press ever produced. Burt Lancaster gives a legendary performance as J. J. Hunsecker, the most feared columnist in New York, who delights in making desperate press agent Sidney Falco (Tony Curtis) do his dirty deeds. Simply put: one of the most enjoyably unpleasant films ever made.
