Beware these "gentlemen" of the press.This 1957 film, starring Burt Lancaster and Tony Curtis — ack! as a bad guy! — is based on an incident from the gossip columnist Walter Winchell's life. It was written by American playwright Clifford Odets, on whom the Barton Fink character was loosely modeled.
Has anyone seen it?
I was actually going to pick another Burt Lancaster film, "Elmer Gantry," but reading about that led me to this, which sounds more up my alley.
