Let’s watch “Sweet Smell of Success” (98% Rott.T) “NOIR CITY: CHICAGO 2026"
Music Box Theatre, 3733 North Southport Avenue, Chicago, IL, USThe immensely popular NOIR CITY: CHICAGO returns this September with "Face the Music!’, a 19-film program of crime and mystery films featuring . . . musicians! Let’s go to the opening-night film “Sweet Smell of Success” now considered one of best films of the 1950s—as well as the definitive cinematic statement on the dangers of media corruption. Burt Lancaster seethes through a thinly-veiled portrait of powerful New York gossip columnist Walter Winchell as J.J. Hunsecker, and Tony Curtis gives perhaps his finest performance as the two-faced, sycophantic press agent Sidney Falco.
Please buy your ticket ONLINE HERE It’s opening night. IT WILL SELL OUT.
AFTER THE SHOW, AS USUAL WE’LL HAVE DINNER AT D’AGOSTINO PIZZERIA (ADDISON AND SOUTHPORT).

Let’s watch “DEAD MAN” by JIM JARMUSCH + dinner, discussion
Facets, 1517 W. Fullerton Ave., Chicago, IL, USDead Man is a classic to watch on a big screen. A hallucinatory Western drifting between life and death, Dead Man (1995) is Jim Jarmusch’s haunting meditation on violence, capitalism, and spiritual decay in the American frontier.
The film follows William Blake (Johnny Depp), a mild-mannered accountant who travels west for work only to find himself wounded, on the run, and mistaken for the dead poet of the same name. As he moves deeper into unfamiliar territory, Blake is guided by Nobody (Gary Farmer), a wanderer who interprets his journey through poetry, memory, and myth.YOU CAN BUY YOUR TICKET HERE
I WILL HAVE DINNER AT “VEGAN PLATE” (across the street from Facets) at 5.50pm. I will be in Facets’ lobby at 6.45. After the show, we’ll discuss the film in Facets’ cozy lounge. Drinks are available.
