As a diatribe against all that is worst in human nature, it has moments dipped in pure vitriol.

Kirk Douglas is terrific as a washed-up hack who exploits the story of a man trapped in a cave for own careerist ends. Billy Wilder takes a scathing view of the media circus that feels as spot-on now as it did in the early 50s.
