Welcome to another Cinema Sounds & Secrets Tribute episode! This tribute is for Kirk Douglas:
During the 50s and 60s, he became a huge box-office hit. In 1951, he starred in director Billy Wilder’s first venture into writing and producing, Ace in the Hole. In Lust for Life, Douglas took on the role of real life artist Vincent van Gogh, earning his third Oscar nomination and winning the Golden Globe for Best Actor in a Drama. In 1949, Douglas established his own production company, Bryna Productions. Two of the company’s first films were Paths of Glory (1957) and Spartacus (1960), both of which he had somewhat unknown Stanley Kubrick direct. He is No. 17 on the American Film Institute's list of the greatest male screen legends in American film history.
