Ace in the Hole / The Big Carnival / USA / 1951

As Beth has noted, this is peak Wilder, a savage indictment of mass media and humanity’s craven opportunism, peppered with some of the greatest one-liners this side of the Catskills. As hard-boiled eggs go, the film is truly, as one character puts it, 20 minutes.
