    Two film giants Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis! In real life, they were well-behaved gentlemen. That's what makes this film perfect. A dark movie and the viewer will have to see it through a psychological lens. Lancaster's performance as a man with his media empire who also has a pathological dominance over his sister. Curtis' performance as a man who wants to win at any cost. Spectacular acting, directing, storyline, cinematography and everything!

    Was it thanks to Martin Scorcese that this was re-released to much acclaim a decade ago? In any case I saw it then and loved it. Thrilled that it is here in iTunes and I am downloading as I type :) Thanks, guys!

    Thank you so very, very much ITunes for finally making available this iconic trip into the dark beast of show business in NYC of the fifties. Burt Lancaster rules but the true spotlight shines on Tony Curtis who proved his considerable acting chops. So worthy of purchase.
