As a New Yorker, I can't tell you how much I adore this movie. Few movies have ever captured the allure, the greed, the raw ambition, the talent that fuels New York. And as a jazz lover, few movies have ever done a better job of weaving the jazz scene into the plot of the movie. (One of the protagonists is the jazz guitarist shown in this clip.) This is classic movie making at its very best - a true tour de force and the best movie that Curtis and Lancaster ever made.

@Beck19781 fair point! and obviously the maker's name had to be hidden anyway to give martin milner an easier time finger-syncing.

@nuitetjuors1 it'd have to be. I wouldn't expect Mackendrick to be that hip.
Brilliant, brilliant, brilliant...raw and dark. Characters make Broadway theater people in "All about Eve" and Hollywood film types in "Sunset Boulevard" look like clergy! James Wong Howe cinematography nothing short of incredible!
