Fleeing from criminal charges, he hires Maudet (Jean-Paul Belmondo), a failed boxer, as his "secretary" and traveling companion to accompany him to New York to collect money he has secretly stashed away. Over the course of the story, the two form something like a father-son relationship.....

    "... a tale of intrigue, betrayal, crime and escape, but instead of merely taking inspiration from the Hollywood crime noirs of the 1940s and 50s, the story takes the characters right to the source and it becomes a road picture with America as a familiar but ultimately alien geographical and cultural landscape. .."

    Dir: Billy Wilder Cast:  Kirk Douglas , Jan Sterling , Bob Arthur .

     
     
     
    LEONARD MALTIN REVIEW:    
     

    😧 Billy Wilder. Kirk Douglas, Jan Sterling, Bob Arthur, Porter Hall, Frank Cady, Richard Benedict, Ray Teal, Gene Evans.

    "An embittered New Mexico reporter looking for the elusive brass ring finds it when he stumbles onto a story of a man trapped in an ancient Indian ruin. Unrelentingly cynical (yet mostly believable) tale of how the reporter exploits the "human interest story" for his own benefit--and how the potential tragedy turns into a three-ring circus--has a peculiarly contemporary ring to it. Biting and extremely well acted."

    'Captain Marvel’ rockets to historic $153M debut

     

    .....″Captain Marvel” had to tangle with trolls who sought to lessen the film’s impact. Some fans claimed Larson’s hero didn’t smile enough, a charge she responded to with doctored pictures of previous male Marvel superheroes with awkwardly full grins. Others took issue with Larson’s statements about making her press interviews for the film more inclusive and not “overwhelmingly white male.”

    The anti-“Captain Marvel” campaign included the flooding of Rotten Tomatoes audience scores, which artificially drove down the film’s score to 55 percent fresh from more than 44,000 votes as of Sunday. To combat the down-voting issue in advance of “Captain Marvel,” Rotten Tomatoes (which doesn’t require users to verify that they’ve seen a movie that they’re scoring) removed the ability to rate movies prior to release.

    Taff declined to address “Captain Marvel” foes but applauded Marvel and Kevin Feige for propelling a movie that expanded the Marvel universe........
