    Black classics satirize the news hype with a farce, but more than half a century later, it is still hyped like this, and the media of the heaven is black...

    What should have been a life-and-death rescue turned into a carnival of onlookers. Behind the almost crazy black humor is the ruthless nature of modern journalism: making news without news, and eyeball attention means everything. More than half a century has passed. Not only has the industry not changed, but it has intensified with the support of the media and the headline party, and staged a feast of vultures and gluttonous corpses. A must see for the...

    I was worried about how it would end, but I was truly impressed when I saw the ending, and Wilder has never let me down. It perfectly presents the reality that the creator may regret, but the world he created has nothing to do with his own will. Worst of all is that the world is what the movie describes and it looks like it will never go out of style, and this unhypocritical ending is the best account of the wounded or...

    A prospective picture of the carnival group outside the cave & entertainment to death. Billy Wilder's witty lines and the dark side of human nature form an absurd but not without bitter irony. The cunning and ambitious reporter Chuck Tatum also became the most insane role of Kirk Douglas's career. The end of the fall to the ground is very powerful, but its death is too deliberately choreographed. | Tent and Train | I'm on the boat, and you're all in the water....

    B+/ Compared with the world, hell seems to be closer to heaven. The arrangement is indeed deliberate, and the spreading and closing of the pattern are a little hasty. Yet Billy Wilder's skill remains unrivaled in the genre sixty years later. The group portraits are not exactly inaccurate, and the balance of each focus is simply superb. The most terrifying association in the process of watching the movie turned out to be the Woodstock Music Festival...

    A must-see for journalism and communication majors, self-media practitioners, news headline parties, content planning parties...all must-see. Readers need, market needs are king? If there is no news, making news must grab the headlines; without hotspots, making hotspots must also attract...

    Billy Wilder is definitely a talented director, and it is admirable. Every shot is closely related, and the story is told concisely and sharply without losing space for thinking. Old Douglas's acting is top-notch, and it's easy to see the same look in the eyes of father and son. The subject of news reminds me of...

Ace in the Hole quotes

  • 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.

    Charles Tatum: Neither do I, fan, but I like the odds.
