Notice in the part of this scene starting at 2:14 that after Edward G. Robinson's character lights his cigar and says his lines, he points the lit match at Steve McQueen's character and never once looks at the lit match as he allows it to burn down just near his fingers before extinguishing it. This was a wonderful touch that conveys that Lancey was a master poker player who could skillfully--and with perfect timing--play with fire without getting burned.

You could watch this scene a thousand times, but what made Edward G Robinson such an amazing actor is that not ONCE is he in the least bit triumphalist about the win. ANY other actor in Hollywood playing this role would have crowed like a raven given this material, but Robinson delivers the lines with a straight and respectful face, almost like a father imparting a painful, but important, lesson to his son. Brilliant reading of the part.

In Lancey 's stare you can see his mind is on the game about how and what it's going to take to beat The Kid it's like he's making a mental note that a bluff will not beat The Kid which almost everyone thinks he's doing (bluffing) as you hear their thoughts in this scene.

I first saw "The Cincinnati Kid" when I was only 10 years old. The movie was unforgetable, especially this last climactic scene. An interesting bit of trivia about this movie is that the two leading stars, Steve McQueen and Edward G. Robinson, their only film appearance together, each got their acting start working in Yiddish Theater in New York City. Another interesting factoid about this film, and that is clearly evident in this video clip, is that the great film editing was by Hal Ashby, one of the true Hollywood greats, who would go on to win an Oscar for editing "In the Heat of the Night." Hal Ashby would also go on to direct several films that have become cult classics, including "Harold & Maude," "The Last Detail" and "Being There."

I savour the late-career performances of Edward G. Robinson--a man who practically invented modern screen acting. His utter restraint--it is like watching a master diamond cutter at work--you just keep quiet and watch. McQueen ups his game about ten notches here--his own restraint is nearly impossible to believe--and there's not a motorcycle or souped-up Mustang in sight. That one bead of sweat slowly running down his face--and he is not tempted to wipe it away: that's how internal his character's drama is. No one anywhere is making movies like this.

Someone already had tried to help The Kid cheat and he didn't want it. Who is to say that after The Kid turned them down, that The Man didn't cheat? I say it was a cheat hand, no doubt about it - given the odds of it being real, plus the foreshadowing of the cheating possibility.

You need to see the entire movie. They aren't mad at The Kid for betting big on a full house, they are mad at him for not cheating, which they wanted him to do. The Kid found out they were giving him good cards from a fixed deck, and he told them to play it straight and had them change dealers. So they were mad at him that he "had to do it his way" (i.e. not cheat). Ironically, the ridiculous odds of the final hand show that someone almost certainly then cheated on behalf of The Man. When you understand the "cheating" angle, you understand why that "impossible" last hand wasn't so impossible.

McQueen had presence and plenty of it on camera, but going head-to head against E.G.R., a Hollywood legend and in reality a cultured man, was a daunting dramatic challenge.

The Cincinnati Kid and The Hustler, I rated as one of the best movie in best playing the best. Both those movies, they had the best actors to play the roles. Edward G. and Steve McQueen, Jackie Gleason and Paul Newman. I cant see anyone else play those roles. they make you see their world and how they became the best. There will never be these types of actors again.

The essence of poker and gambling in general was referenced earlier when the Jack Weston character got knocked out of the game. Both the kid & Lancey agreed that he wasn't very lucky. The random order of life and the universe create for varying percentages of creatures and entities to due well & not so well. However, the vast majority are in the middle. Mostly, people who find that they often do well in gambling will tend to engage in it more than if they don't usually do well. Of course, there are the unfortunate exceptions like this Weston character and those are mostly the ones who end up either destroying there life or if finally "lucky" get some form of help. I'm not implying that there is no skill involved in playing poker but skill in a game of chance can only take one so far.
@randybailin49025 жыл бұрын
Once Lancey called the $3500 and raised $5000 any pro would've known he was beat. If he was trying to buy it he would've raised much more than $5000 into that pot. In the real world, only a crooked dealer would deliver Lancey that kind of winning scenario. Both players get their dream card into that fat pot. Highly unlikely.
@andrewfurst57115 жыл бұрын
Actually you've solved the riddle of the last hand. "Only a crooked dealer" is exactly what happened, even though the film does not say this explicitly. The odds of having that final hand were ridiculously long IF no one was cheating. But the possibility of dealer cheating was already raised in the movie, therefore it is the most likely explanation of that "impossible" final hand.

The old man knew he had an unbeatable hand but he hesitated to make sure the kid called his raise. The kid won most of the hands but "The Man" knew he could take advantage of the kid's obsession to beat him with just one big hand. As far as the fantastic odds go remember this is a movie and entertainment, not real life.

@MoviesGalore1000 What that would mean is The Kid is done as a big time player which would further mean Lancey removed him from his competition.
@oughtssought11983 жыл бұрын
those odds are so astronomical for 5card stud with 2players that I think there's a subplot here that Ladyfingers stacked the deck for that final hand. There are a lot of elements in the movie that fit that scenario. Ladyfingers razzing Lancy early on as if to get on his nerves. And razzing him at the end as if she's almost offended at his raising with only 3 cards to the flush. Then there's the messages from Slade & Melba that honesty is for losers, to the point where its kind of a theme. After Lancy has seen what a sore loser Slade is & seen how Slade treats Shooter as if he owns him & seen Slade lay $2000 on the table when the kid is short cash early in the game it would make sense for Lancy to suspect a rigged game. Lancy's version of how to play it rigged would be more subtle. Have Ladyfingers feed The Kid some winning hands to get his confidence up & then take it all away in 1 hand. The entire history of professional gambling in USA, & New Orleans, is a flood of rigged & cheating games. So, as you say, the fact it is just a movie makes how huge the odds against it irrelevant as evidence of what "really" happened since nothing real happened; but it may be a data point in the plot meant to suggest what I'm guessing at here. In the cheating hand in The Sting the hands are believable so far as the odds go. So maybe the extreme hand in this closing scene is meant to suggest what I'm guessing at. Either way; it's a great movie with a lot of first rate performances & a great closing scene.

Having seen the movie, what I got from the ending was that the Kid's "luck" came from the love Tuesday Weld's character had for him. When he broke her heart by cheating on her with Ann Margaret, and she walked out on him, his "luck" left with her. Poker players will say that poker is a game of skill, not luck, but this movie wasn't really about poker. The game was just a metaphor for life. Passion , greed, ambition, can lead one to make bad choices. But, wisdom comes with age.
