The film did not do well in the cinema as it was unrelentingly cynical and the lead character was very unpleasant. Biut it did win some awards and it remains one of its star’s best performances.

Well done. Ace in the Hole starred Kirk Douglas, who died in February aged 103. He played a thoroughly unscrupulous journalist who would stop at nothing to try and win a Pulitzer Prize and regain what he saw as his rightful place in the news firmament.
Thanks Devo. Next one:
