Storyline
New York after dark provides the backdrop for this stinging portrait of a vengeful newspaper columnist (Lancaster) and a venal press agent (Curtis) who briefly forgo their mutual antipathy to destroy a man’s career.  A great jazz score, rain-soaked streets, and superb acting.  A terrific movie.
