Sweet Smell of Success
Movie • 1957 • Thriller
ReportSynopsis
New York City newspaper writer J.J. Hunsecker holds considerable sway over public opinion with his Broadway column, but one thing that he can't control is his younger sister, Susan, who is in a relationship with aspiring jazz guitarist Steve Dallas. Hunsecker strongly disproves of the romance and recruits publicist Sidney Falco to find a way to split the couple, no matter how ruthless the method.

It's a rather ambiguous ending if you ask me, the main character is not the likeable person so the way things end for him isn't necessarily sad, it almost feels deserved if you will. Not all movie endings fall into the happy/sad dichotomy.

Nothing comes of it, but a main plot point is J.J.'s obsessiveness regarding his sister who he is heavily implied to be attracted to
