“Sweet Smell of Success,” (1957), directed by Alexander Mackendrick. 96 minutes. Not rated. Tony Curtis is a slimy, hustling publicist willing to do almost anything for an unscrupulous and manipulative gossip columnist (Burt Lancaster). There’s nothing sweet about this movie; it’s a tart, bitter look at ambition.
