  A little bit o'fun as McQueen leads a pretty gosh darn good cast in this typical tale of the kid against the powers that be. Eddie G.'s that power, the Man, the guy who's on top of the stud poker game and Stevie's set to take him down. Malden's good as the buddy, Weld as the good girl, and Margret as, what else, the bad girl, surprise.

  Good acting puts this over, incredible cast coupled with interesting story. Ann-Margret is positively bursting with kittenish sexuality.

• Lenny M

  
  Crushing Ending but good effective long card scene that most likely influenced movies like Rounders or Casino Royale.

• Michael G

  
  I hate card game and Steve McQueen movies but this one was great. It doesn't have the typical bullshit Hollywood ending and it's got a great cast.

  [font=Century Gothic]"The Cincinnati Kid" takes place in 1930's New Orleans where Eric Stoner, aka The Cincinnati Kid(Steve McQueen), is the local virtuouso of five card stud poker. His chance at the big time arrives when champion poker player Lancey Howard(Edward G. Robinson) comes to town.(Eric's pal, Shooter(Karl Malden), once played Howard and lost. Now, he is the most respected of the city's dealers.) First, Howard takes a member of the local aristocracy, William Jefferson Slade(Rip Torn), to the bank...[/font] [font=Century Gothic]"The Cincinnati Kid" is an entertaining movie that ambles its way through its first hour before the excitement of the big game. The characters, like the movie, only truly come alive when they are gambling, either at poker or the cock fights. The movie is ably helped by a very good cast and the effective use of locations. It is about respectability, social mobility, and always looking at moving upin the world. And thanks to this movie, I think I understand the soul of the gambler better than ever before.[/font]

  Good simple film about poker. It's great fun to watch McQueen and Edward G. play off each other. Nothing groundbreaking, but very entertaing with a great ending.
