Ace In The Hole

What a scoop! The Labour Day episode talks about what's going down in Billy Wilder's caustic Ace In The Hole. His gift was comedy, but he could obviously handle the serious stuff too. Here he wrote and directed a searing drama about crooked cops, the opportunistic media, bad wives, leeches, ghoulish gawkers...and 1 suffering victim. Ace In The Hole was underappreciated 75 years ago and it was a box office bomb. It's thought of as a classic now, even if it isn't perfect. Kirk Douglas didn't have a problem playing heels...or overacting. He does both here. He's a greedy, self-loathing newspaperman who keeps a man trapped under rubble for many days longer than necessary just so he can publish several human-interest stories. The victim's wife, Jan Sterling, is a vicious jerk too. So do some hollering (and be hollered at) as I put out a bulletin about Wilder's indictment of everybody in show #759.
Well, Actually: Kirk Douglas' stroke happened only a few weeks before he was given an Honorary Oscar in 1996, not a few years before.
