WHO NEEDS TEXAS HOLD "EM

The Cincinnati Kid is the BEST poker movie made!! Steve McQueen, Karl Malden, Ann-Margret were great in this film but Edward G Robinson steals the show as Lancey Howard. For the young folk this movie was how professional poker was played in the back rooms and alleys.

Every poker fan should take his or her copy of "Rounders" and toss it in the back of your DVD collection and get a copy of "The Cincinnati Kid"

McQeen, Margaret, Weld play their hands!

Another great McQueen film!! He is truly the epitome of "cool" and this picture features Tuesday Weld and Ann Margaret to boot! There was a surprise ending which really added to the overall affect of this vintage poker film.

could've been

This thing could have been as great as Robert Rossen's The Hustler, instead what we get is a second-rate
flick by a second-rate director.

They screwed up big time when they let the original helmer go, namely Sam Peckinpah, and hired a guy like Norman Jewison, who wasn't even good enough to shine Bloody Sam's shoes.
