Freshwater Film Club present ... Ace in the Hole (US / bw / 1951) 111 mins – b/w) Dir: Billy Wilder Cast: Kirk Douglas & Jan Sterling

When a disgraced reporter (Douglas) happens to be working for small-town newspaper and hears about a local man trapped in a cave, he sees a golden opportunity to make the big-time. He stops at nothing to manipulate the event and to keep the event on the front pages of the national press.

Loosely based on a true story from 1925, which indeed made headline news across America at the time, Wilder’s gritty film portrays human nature at its very worst. It does, however, provide Douglas with one of the most powerful performances of his career.
