Ace in the Hole
1951 1 hr 51 min
Cynical, opportunistic reporter Chuck Tatum is in town to cover a rattlesnake competition, and when a local man is trapped in an abandoned cave dwelling, Tatum capitalizes on the story and manipulates coverage to circus-like proportions. Kirk Douglas puts in a sensational performance in this daylight noir, as director Billy Wilder puts forth his most biting take on the American culture of spectacle.
