Sweet Smell of Success 1957
This was almost like a grand-scale episode of The Twilight Zone (though that is not meant to suggest it is of a fantastical nature). The cinematography -- particularly the use of light and shadow -- was impeccable, as was the dialogue and Burt Lancaster's enunciation. Everything was so crisp.
