Auction History Result 7p072 ACE IN THE HOLE French 1p R50s Billy Wilder classic, cool different art of Kirk Douglas! Date Sold 12/5/2010 Sold For: Login or Register to see sold price. An Undated (probably 1950s) Re-release Vintage Theatrical Folded French One-Panel "Grande" Movie Poster (1p; measures 47 1/4" x 63" [120 x 160 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! NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Artist: d'apres Roger Soubie Important Added Info: Note that this poster has sometimes been mistakenly sold as an original 1951 release. But it is actually from an undated 1950s re-release. While the two posters look similar, the original has more vivid colors and there are differences in the layout and sizes of the writing. Condition: good. The poster is fragile. It has darkened on the foldlines and there are tears and tiny areas of paper loss on parts of some foldlines and in the borders. But the poster is mostly "all there", so after linenbacking and proper restoration, the poster will look great, but please do not bid on this poster unless you can accept its defects described above or are willing to pay to have them properly restored!
