I’m a huge Douglas fan, and I too love how he leans into unlikable characters. My issue with #AceInTheHole lies in the script, which I don’t think allows the opportunities for exploration & development at which Douglas excels (as opposed to, say, Detective Story that same year). #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Has #NoirAlley shown Jan Sterling in #FemaleOnTheBeach ? BTW Joan Crawford's in it too. #AceInTheHole #TCMParty

I never know if he's playing.

Well if that’s not a metaphor. Kirk Douglas is the crooked nail. #NoirAlley #TCMParty #AceInTheHole

That first tourist who showed up works for "Pacific All Risk." A direct nod to the insurance company in "Double Indemnity."

Jan Sterling Appreciation Post

#AceInTheHole #NoirAlley #TCMParty

Maybe this movie just misses as a Noir because the protagonist has no existential qualms about what he’s doing. He’s not a tortured soul who is conflicted about his actions. He’s no hero except in his own mind.
When the shit hits the fan he’s as gobsmacked as anyone else.
