Watching “Ace in the Hole,” my rec for my movie club. Very cynical film about journalism, directed by Billy Wilder, starring Kirk Douglas, costume by Edith Head.
“You’ll be glad to know I’ve been fired by 11 papers with a total circulation of 7 million for reasons I won’t bore you.”
City/country joke about “belt *and* suspenders” pays off immediately
I mean...yeah
I can’t keep clipping this movie BUT maybe nobody in any movie lights a cigarette with flourish in so many ways than Douglas in this film
“I’m in the boat, you’re in the water, so let’s see you swim.”
Is almost as good a noir line as
“Cats in the bag and the bag’s in the river.”
