And yes it is a great movie. |

I ended up blind buying it on HD DVD back in the day. Turned out to be one of my favorite movies. The part where Newman plays a drunk and keeps getting Lonnegan's name wrong is probably my favorite part.

It's a masterpiece. It fed my love for the 1930s, particularly the clothing.

I finally got around to watching it a few months ago. Great flick. I've been trying to hit some of the "classics" lately instead of the crap that is coming out of Hollywood today.

That movie was released in 1973.
The time period it portrayed was the 1930's. That is comparable to a movie coming out today portraying events in the early 1980's. Wild. |

Audiences felt a lot of nostalgia when it was released because it accurately depicted the mean streets of big cities during the Depression. The typical 40-45 year old in 1973 remembered the 1930s.

Watched it and then had to write a paper on it in college Art Appreciation general ed BS night class. Not a bad movie at all. Hard to come up with some esoteric BS to please the (liberal gay) prof though. I think I got a B.

Great movie. I'm still at a loss though to figure out how Newman's character was able to switch the card deck out on Lonnegan in the poker game.
Watched that scene a bunch of times and still can't see how he could pull it off. |
