KIRK DOUGLAS?

KIRK DOUGLAS (1916-Present), born Issur Danielovitch Demsky, was the original dynamic man.








Haven't you seen Ace in the Hole (1951)? A Billy Wilder classic. Also known as The Big Carnival.

Watch this and then see these other four films.




The Strange Love of Martha Ivers (1946) Atmospheric noir with Barbara Stanwyck and Van Heflin.
A Letter to Three Wives (1949) One of the most sophisticated films ever made. If you can find a screenplay the equal of this one, it will probably also be by Joseph L. Mankiewicz.
Champion (1949) The best boxing film of all time. (Yes, I've seen Raging Bull and Rocky.)
Young Man with a Horn (1950) Kirk teams with Lauren Bacall, Doris Day, and Hoagy Carmichael in a trumpeter biopic.
