New York City newspaper writer J.J. Hunsecker holds considerable sway over public opinion with his Broadway column, but one thing that he can't control is his younger sister, Susan, who is in a relationship with aspiring jazz guitarist Steve Dallas. Hunsecker strongly disapproves of the romance and recruits publicist Sidney Falco to find a way to split the couple, no matter how ruthless the method.
Editor's Verdict
"Sweet Smell of Success is a classic film noir drama focused on journalistic manipulation and moral corruption in New York City. Based on the plot summary and known context of the film, there is no indication that the story is set during the Christmas season or involves any Christmas-related elements, themes, or iconography. All indicators point to 'None' or 'Weak' at best, failing to meet the threshold for a Christmas movie."
