Auction History Result 4x020 ACE IN THE HOLE 1sh '51 Billy Wilder classic, Kirk Douglas chokes Jan Sterling, Big Carnival! Date Sold 4/28/2009 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Original (re-titled "The Big Carnival") Vintage Theatrical Folded One-Sheet Movie Poster (1sh; 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! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. If you know who did the art (if any), please let us know. Condition: good. The title area at upper right has been painted over and the alternate title has been neatly printed in that area. There are pieces of yellowed tape in the background at left as well as some areas of separation and paper loss along the foldlines and around the edges of the poster (some repaired with paper and tape from the back) Learn More about condition grades
