ReviewsNitrate Online - Douglas is wonderfully slimy as a scheming reporter in one of Wilder's most accomplished films.
Additional InformationBilly Wilder directed and co-wrote this bitterly satiric comedy-drama which turns a jaundiced eye towards both the news media and its consumers. Chuck Tatum (Kirk Douglas) is a talented but short-tempered reporter whose fondness for booze and unwillingness to bow to authority has cost him jobs at some of America's most prestigious newspapers. Marooned when his car breaks down in Albuquerque, New Mexico, he embarks on a series of minor assignments until a local bigwig is trapped in a mine. Tatum seizes the chance to 'big up' the event and a media frenzy ensues, but can it be controlled?
