She has the apartment next door to an elderly former gangster, Lou Pascal (Lancaster). One day her dirtbag husband Dave shows up, toting along Sally's sister Chrissie, whom Dave has impregnated. Dave is also toting along a bag full of cocaine that he stole back in Philadelphia. Dave enlists Lou to help him sell the cocaine, but Dave promptly gets murdered by the gangsters he stole from. This leaves Lou with a large stash of cocaine that he starts selling himself, spending the money on crisp new suits and romancing the enchanting Sally. However, the gangsters that Dave stole from are still out there, looking for their cocaine.Advertisement:propertag.cmd.push(function() { proper_display('tvtropes_mobile_ad_2'); })One of 41 films to get nominated in all the "Big Five" Academy Award categories (Picture, Director, Actor, Actress, Screenplay), although it didn't win any.

Artistic License – Geography: The elephant-shaped building Chrissie sees in the opening sequence is Lucy the Elephant, a landmark in Margate, NJ. Margate is south of Atlantic City. The vehicle she is in is clearly traveling south, AWAY from Atlantic City. At one point, Sally refers to Moose Jaw, Saskatchewan as being "near Medicine Hat". Which is in Alberta, over 250 miles away. Given the characters is supposed to be from Moose Jaw, and the film was produced by Canadians, its unclear whether this is an intentional research failure.
