Ask Mr. Douglas, both, about Elia Kazan.
Yes, William Bendix. He’s also listed on the movie poster.
We’re dating ourselves.
Lomax: Mine hit the ground first.
Taw Jackson: Mine was taller.

Hopefully his (and my) alma mater can beat Clarkson tonight in his honor.
This makes no sense. Natalie’s family has publicly accused Robert Wagoner of not telling the whole truth about her drowning so why on earth would they hold their fire about a rape accusation? The accusation is not credible since there is no proof, just a sensationalist book.
The VILLAIN is my favorite Swartznegger movie, in addition, to being a great Kirk Douglas movie. I will always remember the answer Swartznegger’s character gave to the question concerning how he got his name, “Handsome Stranger”.
Who could forget the barrel chested KD in that striped shirt? :)
From that movie, Patricia Neal became one of my great teenage crushes. I don't know what it was about that movie .. especially because of the age difference that would have existed .. but she (and Rosemary Clooney from White Christmas) became my female ideals.

Though I admit I've seen it and found it entertaining in a guilty-pleasure sort of way.
That was not one of his best roles.
He had a great rapport with Burt Lancaster, and it showed here, and elsewhere.
Ace in the Hole was way ahead of its time. It tanked when it originally played.
