This week: Lance Oppenheim's Chris Hansen portrait PRIMETIME has us looking back at a classic movie covering similar ground around ethics in infotainment and creating "truth" by editing reality. Tony Curtis plays sharply against type in 1957's terrific SWEET SMELL OF SUCCESS: omny.fm/shows/filmsp...

An art poster for 1957's Sweet Smell of Success, with Tony Curtis in the foreground, wearing a sharp suit and walking by a newsstand covered in magazines. In the background, a paper delivery van drives by with "Go with the Globe: Read JJ Hunsecker" written on the side, and an image of Burt Lancaster as Hunsecker.
