Hey, I don't think I posted a link to order this. One of our "recommendations" that a lot of you took and thanked us for was back when we suggested you catch an old Billy Wilder film called, depending on which print of it you were seeing, either Ace in the Hole or The Big Carnival. For a long time, it was hard to catch and when it turned up on Turner Classic Movies, a lot of you got to see it for the first time. And liked it, if my e-mail is to be believed. It really is a timely story, given the trends of the news media.
It just came out on a Criterion DVD. I don't have my copy yet but I've never known the Criterion folks not to serve a movie well…so here's a link to get one. I just ordered mine. And here's an article by Jack Shafer about the film's history and regrettable relevance.
