Ace in the Hole (1951)

Remembering times when I was waiting in a desert make-shift media whore town for the fate of 33 Chilean miners stuck hundreds of metres below the ground - I came upon this Kurt Douglas film from 1951. 
Description - 
A frustrated former big-city journalist now stuck working for an Albuquerque newspaper exploits a story about a man trapped in a cave to re-jump start his career, but the situation quickly escalates into an out-of-control circus.

Oh the parallels.

Paul White

Paul White started making ridiculous beats in a small room in the outskirts of South East London: Lewisham. Introverted he searched his own inner peace remastering his own versions of Jay Dilla. Being signed was of no importance, until it happened.
