People are corrupted in a highly developed business society and eventually sink to the bottom of hell. That's the theme of this movie.
        In this sense, Sidney is essentially no different from his boss, JJ. Only the social status is different, one is the master and the other is his slave....

The film is based on Ernst Lechmann's short story of the same name, and is written by Clifford Odets, a left-wing writer who is good at portraying social issues with grim style. On the basis of the novel, this film builds more complex scenarios and more dramatic character relationships, and projects the ugliest and darkest side of human nature through the show of the media industry's open and secret struggles. Famous Chinese photographer Huang Zongzhan used sharp chiaroscuro, unusual shooting angles and bold camera movements to capture the ugliest side of New York City. In the inner world of intrigue, Burt Lancaster played a ruthless tycoon, although he was full of momentum, but Tony Curtis played a mercenary agent who was even more eye-catching, and even achieved the latter's best performance on the screen.
