Auction History Result y106 BIG CARNIVAL one-sheet movie poster '51 Billy Wilder, Kirk Douglas Date Sold 2/1/2005Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (measures 27" x 41") (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!

Important Added Info: Note that this one-sheet was printed with the original title "Ace In The Hole", and that it is stamped as such on the back. However, the poster has been overprinted with the alternate title "The Big Carnival". That title is professionally printed on the poster, and is not a snipe, or a painted on change. In addition to the above, the poster has water stains throughout and clear tape on the back of several foldlines. Condition: good to very good. Learn More about condition grades
