Don't think I've ever seen Ace. Didn't know it was a Wilder film either. Makes it a sure fire hit. I'll look forward to catching it hopefully soon.

probably his most nasty character.

Oh ! That's not good. Not that I would avoid it, but I don't remember him being a bad guy in anything.
I believe Burt wasn't a good guy in The Sweet Smell Of Success, so it happens.

Even though it wasn't very good, I want to throw out "It Run's in the Family" because it was his dream to do a movie with his son, Michael and grandson, Cameron.

Cameron spent time in prison, but this didn't stop Kirk from having his back and even visiting him. He was a true family man.
