[GreenKeys] Mice vs 15

[Richard Knoppow]

    "Ace in the Hole" directed by Billy Wilder, with Kirk Douglas. Its 
been many years since I've seen it. I don't remember the alternative 
title (maybe "The Big Circus"?). One of the four film noir classics 
Wilder made in his early Hollywood career. Its been too long since I've 
seen it but at the time I thought it was not  up to the other three.
    This was inspired by an actual incident that happened in the 1920s 
where a fellow named Floyd Collins was trapped in a cave and the rescue 
was covered day by day in the newspapers. See
https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Floyd_Collins
for more.
