Writer in the Hole: Desny v. Wilder, Copyright Law, and the. This essay explores Ace in the Hole. The story would fi rst be sent to the script. Windows Ce 6 0 Wm8650 Rom on this page.

The black-and-white cinematography by Charles Lang is the inevitable choice; this story would curdle color. And notice how no time is wasted with needless exposition. A wire-service ticker turns up there, again without comment. A press tent goes up and speaks for itself. Although the film is 56 years old, I found while watching it again that it still has all its power. It hasn’t aged because Wilder and his co-writers, Walter Newman and Lesser Samuels, were so lean and mean.

The dialogue delivers perfectly timed punches: ‘I can handle big news and little news. And if there’s no news, I’ll go out and bite a dog.’ ” – Dear every screenwriter, read this: Billy Wilder, Lesser Samuels & Walter Newman’s screenplay for Ace in the Hole aka The Big Carnival [].

The best extra on the Criterion Collection two-disc DVD set containing Ace in the Hole is the 58-minute interview of Billy Wilder titled. The interview was conducted by film critic Michel Ciment and took place in 1980 when Wilder was about 74 years old. It starts off at Wilder’s cluttered Santa Monica Boulevard office, where he keeps his six Oscar statuettes and a certificate for winning the top prize at Cannes for The Lost Weekend (1945).

Wilder then drives to a high-rise building and goes up to his primary residence, where he shows Ciment his valuable art collection, which includes works by Picasso, Chagall, Kandinsky, Kirchner and Jawlensky. Finally, they conclude the interview at Wilder’s beachfront cottage in Malibu. Wilder talks briefly about his youth in Vienna, the excitement of living in Berlin during the Weimar era and his year in France before settling into a long discussion of his Hollywood years, beginning as a screenwriter, then becoming a director and finally a producer. He was one of the great raconteurs, and he has lots of fascinating things to say about his many movies and the famous stars he worked with, including Jack Lemmon, Walter Matthau, William Holden, Humphrey Bogart and Marilyn Monroe. – For more film related items throughout the day, follow.
