    To be famous is to take advantage of people's dangers and hype to death. The enthusiasm of the whole people to participate is high, we are coming to Rio~ Save the Rio Carnival, people are dead and cars are...

    a slut and a scumbag, this is the black ending of film noir, this farce of the news media will never end, it will honorably take over the nuclear bomb, not all at once, but slowly, dismembering human society . The square outline of Douglas' chin is so fitting for such a pompous and pathetic...

    God, the strength of the opening, the absurd treatment in the middle, and the irony again at the end. I feel that the reporter's psychological transformation is a little...

    En s'en prenant ardemment tant au cirque médiatique manipulateur qu'au phénomène de masse à travers ce grand show de l'immoralité, Wilder fait preuve d'un cynisme visionnaire qui fait de ce film une critique prophétique envers l'hypocrisie et le...

    kill. It is ironic that a newspaper turned a deserted town into an "Internet celebrity", a playground, and the rescue operation even became an entertainment activity. After a person died, the crowd dispersed quickly. In the end, the reporter knelt down/prostrate in front of the newspaper boss/truth, and then it was considered to be worshipped. Come too late. The reporter came to a small town full of ambition and always wanted to report on a "big event". He was able to make a name for himself...

    Billy Wilder's black masterpiece. I don't know why it has to be translated into this strange title. Isn't "Ace in the Hole" easier to understand? If the director's later "Wind and Rain in the City" was a mockery of the unscrupulous media, then this film was called an indictment of bottomless news. The general public's blind and frenetic pursuit of hot spots is an interesting contrast to Kirk Douglas's psychological transformation. Stories from 70 years ago have no sense of disobedience in...

  • Charles Tatum: When the history of this sun-baked Siberia is written, these shameful words will live in infamy: No chopped chicken liver! No garlic pickles. No Lindys. No Madison Square Garden... no Yogi Berra! Whattya know about Yogi Berra, Miss Deverich?

    Miss Deverich: I beg your pardon?

    Charles Tatum: Yogi Berra!

    Miss Deverich: Yogi? Why, it's a sort of religion, isn't it?

    Charles Tatum: You bet it is! A belief in the New York Yankees!

  • Herbie Cook: [Looking at the unstable cliff-dwelling] I don't like the looks of it, Chuck.
