Re: Poker movies?
Personally, I enjoyed it. More than Rounders. Then again, maybe it's a "generational" thingie. I like Damon and Norton, but I was/am a monster fan of E.G. Robinson and Steve McQ. Add to that duo, Ann-Margaret and Tuesday Weld, two of my fave "fantasy make-out" ladies, I was one very, very happy camper.
There were a lot more "names" and comers in the cast, too. ('65?)
My fave line (paraphrase) - Lancey (E.G.) to The Kid (Steve M.): "You're good, Kid, real good. But as long as I'm at the table, you'll always be second best."
Rent it if you can.
