Press Notes

Ace in the Hole is "a holy grail"

Available for the first time on home video, our newly restored edition of Ace in the Hole has been garnering accolades as one of the top DVDs of 2007. "Billy Wilder's ferocious 1951 examination of media-driven frenzy...never loses its timeliness," raves Entertainment Weekly's Ken Tucker. DVDTalk, ranking it as their top release of the year, writes that Billy Wilder's vitriolic cult classic has been a "holy grail for film fans for decades," and SF Weekly recently deemed Ace in the Hole "the year's most important release: history lesson as cautionary tale."
