Description
The Stinking Pause podcast – bringing you classic movie reviews since 2013   Scott is joined this week by Steven, his co-host over at the Reel Britannia podcast and Anthony, host of Film Gold, Glass Onion : On John Lennon, and Life and Life Only   Ace In The Hole (1951)   With flaws that outweigh his talent, reporter Chuck Tatum (Kirk Douglas) has bounced across the country from job to job. Winding up in New Mexico, Tatum gets work from the local newspaper, but finds that there's not much in the way of pressing news. However, when Tatum catches wind of a treasure hunter (Richard Benedict) trapped in a mineshaft, he turns the story into a media sensation. Soon Tatum is using unscrupulous tactics to draw out the situation, an approach that comes back to haunt him. "I've done a lot of lying in my time. I've lied to men who wear belts. I've lied to men who wear suspenders. But I'd never be so stupid as to lie to a man who wears both belt and suspenders."     This and previous episodes can be found everywhere you download your podcasts Follow us on Twitter @StinkingPause email: [email protected]   Reel Britannia https://www.deezer.com/us/show/2877712    Glass Onion: On John Lennon https://podcasts.apple.com/gb/podcast/glass-onion-on-john-lennon/id1473867166  Life And Life Only https://lifeandlifeonly.podbean.com/  Film Gold https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/film-gold/id1544641271    Thanks for listening Scott
