Irony
I will always find it ironic that the first time I watched Billy Wilder’s “Ace In the Hole” was the day before the Presidential election involving Barak Obama.
SPOILERS - The movie was about the dishonest and self serving nature of the press and politicians. To sum up, a newpaper reporter, once bigtime now relegated to a small New Mexico paper leaves a man to die so he can extend the story to leverage his byline.

You're going to make me go look this up on IMDB aren't you?
Oh. A movie based about Floyd Collins
There will always be the caves beyond.

Like I said, a story based on Floyd Collins.
Coming from a journalist/caver family, Floyd Collins was something that I grew up knowing about. Not common knowledge nowadays, I suspect.
