Stars - Burt Lancaster (#19); Villains - J. J. Hunsecker (#35)
I really don't know what's worse - snobby elitists or the simpering sops who kiss up to them. Burt Lancaster plays the former and Tony Curtis the latter in this movie about a newspaper columnist who can make or break a person's career and/or reputation just by writing about him.
Lancaster was utterly unappealing, which was the point. But I think I was supposed to feel sorry for Curtis, and I didn't. I was just annoyed that he gave Lancaster that much power over him.
