nope, never seen it.

I gotta tell you though, after "Spartacus" and "Ace in the Hole" I might look for more Kirk Douglas movies.

Laurence Olivier as Crassus stole "Spartacus" and some other performances are more impressive - Lentullus Batiatus, Gracchus - as Spartacus is a great character nonetheless which didn't have to rely on Douglas' touch to take it to another level.

Ace in the Hole's Charles Tatum though, is a selfish journalist, a cruel human being and a woman-beating bastard and he still comes out as a loveable character because of Kirk Douglas performance. if he hadn't nailed it so perfectly, Tatum would be just a hateful prick.
