Auction History Result 6y399 ACE IN THE HOLE Belgian R50s Billy Wilder classic, Kirk Douglas, Jan Sterling, Big Carnival! Date Sold 3/30/2014 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1950s) Re-Release Vintage Theatrical Folded Belgian Movie Poster (measures 13 3/4" x 18 3/4" [35 x 48 cm]) (Learn More) Ace in the Hole (also released as "The Big Carnival"), the classic 1951 Billy Wilder crime newspaper journalism film noir ("Written by Billy Wilder, Lesser Samuels and Walter Newman"; about a washed-up newspaperman who finds a man trapped in a cave-in and delays his rescue to get a better story!) starring Kirk Douglas, Jan Sterling, Robert Arthur (billed as "Bob Arthur"), Porter Hall, Frank Cady, and Richard Benedict. Most people believe that this movie was first released under the title "Ace in the Hole", but that when it was not very well received, the studio quickly created all new paper with the new title "The Big Carnival" (perhaps to confuse people as to the subject matter of the movie). Most collectors treat the movie paper with either title as "first release", but some collectors consider the material with "Ace in the Hole" to be less common, and therefore more desirable!
