The Cincinnati Kid
The Cincinnati
Kid is a 1965 American drama film.
It tells the story of Eric" The Kid" Stoner, a young Depression- era poker player, as he seeks to establish his reputation as the best.
This quest leads him to challenge Lancey" The Man" Howard, an older player widely considered to be the best, culminating in a climactic final poker hand between the two.
The script, adapted from Richard Jessup's novel, was written by Ring Lardner Jr. and Terry Southern; it was Lardner's first major studio work since his 1947 blacklisting as one of The Hollywood Ten.
The film was directed by Norman Jewison and stars Steve McQueen in the title role and Edward G. Robinson as Howard.
Jewison, who replaced original director Sam Peckinpah shortly after filming began, describes" The Cincinnati Kid" as his" ugly duckling" film.
He considers it the film that allowed him to transition from the lighter comedic films he had previously been making and take on more serious films and subjects.
The film garnered mixed reviews from critics on its initial release; supporting actors Robinson and Joan Blondell earned award nominations for their performances.
