Posted this on ILF:
Boy, Ace in the Hole's unavailability has inflated its reputation. Really stupid in a rancid way, as if he wanted the audience to applaud his "nasty" premise and rub its nose in it too. Kirk Douglas' loud, unmodulated performance doesn't help.
And, as usual, he doesn't have the courage to accept the consequences of his rancidness -- the last 30 minutes are just awful.

I guess it's something that Richard Gaines as a Gotham editor is as terrible as he was as the boss in Double Indemnity.

I think Sunset Blvd the cinema is a tad overworshipped by homosexualists

Er -- I mean, I like it a lot. (Hence name.) The excessive rancid darkness -- that's the good stuff.

Morbs makes me sound like Lady Bracknell.

Douglas' style is nearly perfect for the material here til he has to feel guilty.
I do a mean "No Lindy's! No Yogi Berra" impression.

til he has to feel guilty.
Isn't that the typical Douglas role?

Ugh, a Richard Schikel commentary track.
The Eureka/Masters of Cinema disc has a really good CT, and lots of good extras:

That Dobbs/Redman CT was--like the Schickel one--a port from old Universal DVD/BLU.
