Ace in the Hole
Billy Wilder's bleak, biting and brilliant newspaper melodrama, forged out in his best and most incisive style, stars Kirk Douglas at his meanest as reporter Chuck Tatum, a man so far removed from humanity that he is willing to let a rock-fall victim die to prolong a scoop. In a film that's a clear precursor of his own 1974 The Front Page, Billy Wilder effortlessly matches Tatum's cynicism with lines like 'It's a better story if we get him out.'
