On Sunday 8th March, we descend once more into the shadows for another instalment of SOMETHING OF THE NIGHT; where ambition curdles, loyalty is transactional, and everyone’s for sale. This time, we're screening Sweet Smell of Success (1957) Burt Lancaster. Tony Curtis. Manhattan at midnight. A ruthless newspaper columnist who can make or break careers with a sentence. A press agent desperate enough to sell his soul for a favour. Jazz clubs, backroom deals, venomous one-liners delivered like switchblades. Lancaster’s J.J. Hunsecker doesn’t just control the column inches, he controls people. Curtis’ Sidney Falco scrambles in the gutter trying to stay useful. It’s cruel, funny, icy and completely intoxicating. If the earlier films were about fate, this one’s about power and the quiet horror of watching someone enjoy using it. Something of the Night runs every other Sunday, bringing classic noir and morally compromised masterpieces to the basement of The Ill Repute ⁃ Downstairs at The Ill Repute ⁃ Free Entry ⁃ Drinks available upstairs Come see how reputations are built. And how easily they’re destroyed.
