If you loved Sunset Boulevard, try Ace in the Hole
A bridge between a film you've already seen and one most people haven't. Ace in the Hole has roughly 3.9× fewer votes than Sunset Boulevard — it's a deeper cut, not a mainstream recommendation. Here's what they share, and what the second one does that the first one doesn't.
What they share
Both films are directed by Billy Wilder, and they sit in Drama territory. If that's the register that drew you to Sunset Boulevard, the second film will land in a comparable space — through a different lens.
What Ace in the Hole is
Sunset Boulevard without the corpse. A down-on-his-luck journalist stumbles upon a local human-interest story and milks it for all it's worth. Kirk Douglas embodies the amoral newsman in Wilder's pitch-black satire.
