In this Ring Lardner Jr./Terry Southern adaptation of Richard Jessup's novel that's set in the NRA years of FDR's first term, Eric 'The Kid' Stoner (McQueen) is a young card sharp who for some time has been gunning for Lancey 'The Man' Howard (Robinson). The older and widely-acknowledged poker king Howard is rumored to have been avoiding the Kid, that is until the day he steps off a train at the New Orleans station.
The two eventually meet in a game that neither knows has been fixed by Slade (Torn), a big-time gambler who seeks revenge against the Man for a recent humiliating $6K thrashing. Slade has blackmailed the highly reputable dealer 'Shooter' (Malden) into throwing the Kid an occasional hand, but the young man figures out what he's doing and puts a stop to it. He's gonna beat Howard fair and square or not at all.
Rip Torn, who in recent years is a burly comic character actor, appears here as young, lean and deadly serious. Except for that unmistakable voice, you can't see the man he grew into decades later. His angular face resembles a youthful Martin Landau's, but is topped with fair hair. They have the same piercing hawklike eyes.
Supporting players include Ann-Margret, Karl Malden, Tuesday Weld, Joan Blondell, Cab Calloway, Jack Weston, Jeff Corey and Dub Taylor.
TRIVIANA--
This was Ring Lardner Jr.'s first acknowledged screenplay since his 1947 blacklisting as one of the Hollywood Ten.
Director Norman Jewison calls this his "ugly duckling" film, the one that allowed him to get beyond fluff comedies and work on more serious subjects.
Although it wasn't popular in its day, in recent years "The Kid" has gotten the recognition it deserves.
Spencer Tracy was to play Yancey Howard but had to give up the role due to ill health.
When original director Sam Peckinpah was fired for adding an early scene of a girl being massaged with a vibrátor, Sharon Tate was also replaced as Christian by Tuesday Weld.
The Preservation Hall Jazz Band cameos with pianist/singer Emma Barrett.
You don't have overdone special effects or gratuitous sex and violence, but a very good script with quality actors doing a very good job.
Yes, you have insinuated sex, such as the scene between Ann-Margret and Steve McQueen, but there was absolutely no nudity. Kind of like when radio used to make you use your imagination, whereas television and movies these days seem to resemble "chewing gum for the brain."
I was a young boy when I first saw this moving in 1965, and I never appreciated what a true sex symbol Ann-Margret really was. Man that woman was smoking hot! Tuesday Weld is a really pretty girl in this one too, but the sexy knob is turned down a bit on her for her part.
Do we have the equivelent of Edward G. Robinson today? Yeah, maybe Pacino or DeNiro, but he was in a class of his own. The ever reliable Karl Malden and Rip Torn turn in solid performances job also.
This is a very much worth watching movie. Buy it and wait for a rainy or snowy day. You won't be disappointed.
Tuesday Weld and Ann-Margret are wonderful, and their performances hint at much better work to come (like Pretty Poison and Carnal Knowledge). Great cast of character actors (Jack Weston, Jeff Corey, Milton Selzer, Dub Taylor et al). Great jazz score by Lalo Schifrin, theme song sung by the great Ray Charles, and editing by Hal Ashby, who in a few years would go on to be one of the most original and creative Hollywood directors of the Seventies.
And... directed by Norman Jewison, 7 time Oscar nominee, who the following year would direct Sidney Poitier, Rod Steiger, and Lee Grant in the classic In The Heat of the Night (7 Oscar noms, 5 wins), for which Hal Ashby won the editing Oscar.

Se pur semplice ,lo consiglio a gli amanti del genere, amazon sempre ottima per quanto riguarda la spedizione.
テレビでしか観ていなかったので、
ラストシーンに驚愕しました。
でもホッとして救われました。
この作品の影響か、後に『カイジ』や
『賭ケグルイ』(ドラマ)にハマる。
ギャンブルは依存性にならない範囲で
楽しみたい。
Vedibile ... Poi può piacere o meno , questione di gusti e di affinità d'indole a mio parere ; ma il finale mi ha deluso (senza fare spoiler) .
In ogni caso può dare , comunque , qualche spunto di riflessione .
