...Hunsecker in the 1957 film The Sweet Smell of Success. (In real life, Winchell, in cinema noir fashion, had his daughter Walda carted off to an asylum in a straitjacket in paternal rage against an unsuitable marriage.).

Herr's vision of Winchell's fate is a fitting postlude, balancing irony and sympathy. He knows that, for Winchell, true hell is closing out of town...
