ACE IN THE HOLE (1951) Starring - Kirk Douglas,Jan Sterling,Robert Arthur,Porter Hall -  Black & White - Public Domain DVD NO CASE

In the 1951 satirical drama, Ace in the Hole, the cynical and disgraced reporter Chuck Tatum creates a media frenzy around a trapped man in rural New Mexico, hoping to revive his struggling career. Directed, produced, and co-written by Billy Wilder, the film also stars Kirk Douglas, Jan Sterling, Robert Arthur, and Porter Hall. While it was initially unsuccessful, the movie has since been recognized as a major work by Wilder. Despite a title change by the studio, the film has been preserved in the United States National Film Registry and is considered a prime example of film noir, although some critics disagree. The story follows Tatum's descent into alcoholism and manipulation as he covers the story of Leo Minosa, trapped in a collapsed cliff dwelling. As the rescue operation turns into a carnival, Tatum's greed and desperation take over, leading to a tragic ending. The film offers a thought-provoking commentary on the exploitation of tragedy for personal gain.
