About the Item

Original 1955 British film poster. This American film noir was directed by Alexander Mackendrick. The film tells the story of a ruthless newspaper columnist J.J. Hunsecker (Burt Lancaster) who pressurizes unethical press agent Sidney Falco (Tony Curtis) into ruining his sister's relationship with a jazz musician, who he feels is undeserving of her. Despite its lukewarm reception at the time, it is now highly acclaimed by film critics.
