SYNOPSIS:
One of the most scathing indictments of American culture ever produced by a Hollywood filmmaker, Academy Award winner Billy Wilder's Ace in the Hole (A.K.A. The Big Carnival) is legendary for both its cutting social critique and its status as a hard-to-find cult classic. Kirk Douglas gives the fiercest performance of his career as Chuck Tatum, an amoral newspaper reporter caught in dead-end Albuquerque who happens upon the story of a lifetime—and will do anything to ensure he gets the scoop. Wilder’s follow-up to Sunset Boulevard is an even darker vision, a no-holds-barred exposé that anticipated the rise of the American media circus.
