Hi from Italy. That's also a principle in Chess. Emmanuel Lasker, one of the greatest World Champions, often played the wrong move at the right moment. Chess too is a battle of nerfs. Lasker has been WC since 1894 until 1921, it worked.

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. Lancey is "The Man" Well played Eddie G.

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."

Rejoice, and men will seek you; Grieve, and they turn and go; They want full measure of all your pleasure, But they do not need your woe. Be glad, and your friends are many; Be sad, and you lose them all,- There are none to decline your nectared wine, But alone you must drink life’s gall. Feast, and your halls are crowded; Fast, and the world goes by. Succeed and give, and it helps you live, But no man can help you die.

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.

Texx Mexx Never knew that, thanks for the trip back in time. Born in 43, I was raised on BK&WT films. Tracy had box office credentials no doubt, but I can't imagine anyone for "The Man" but Edward G. Robinson, a powerhouse indeed. He is easily associated as the professional gambler, as some his previous characters are after the cash and go where the money is. 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. No one dominates E.G.R. on camera, it just "ain't" gonna happen no matter what cards your holding, he'll go home with the $$$,the scene and keep his crown... every time!

Flickchaser The thing about great actors playing great parts is that it’s difficult to imagine anyone else playing them.Edward G Robinson’s finest role.Maybe

*Edward G. Robinson pointing and holding that lit match like a boss: "You're good kid, but as long as I'm around you'll be second best. You might as well learn to live with it."*

It's weird that Edward G. Robinson here kinda looks like Rip Torn does today...and Rip Torn is unrecognizable in this movie based on what he looks like today. Also, this movie had an absolute murderer's row of hot women: Ann Margret and Tuesday Weld in their prime.

urbananalrapist The director had to involve Marlon Brando instead of Edward Robinson. That was the best mistake. If he did that, he would become one of the best films in history.

Robinson was like, "Is this the card you're looking for?" Dead silence. Then talking shit. XD But still, the part with the kid just tells McQueen that there's always gonna be someone better and luckier than you.

So damn realistic how he lost at the end. Like I do many times on the river.

Of the many legends who never won Oscars, or were never even nominated, you can include Robinson. He should have gotten an Oscar, for this; he did'nt over do it or underplayed it. It was pitch perfect, like his final winning hand!

The trick is not playing poker for 30 years, not wining 10 tournaments in a casino royale, and certainly is not learning about statistics and mathematics..............the REAL trick is to sleep with the dealer.......that way she can give you the cards you want.

Great film and a great cast. One of the top 10 sports/games movies of all-time. This final scene is also one of greatest ever. McQueen was among the all-time best for screen presence.

This movie deserves a lot more credit. Edward G Robinson’s best performance, in my opinion. And this is one of McQueen’s best performances in a non-action role. You could write a whole book about psychology using only the onlookers in that last scene. Fantastic movie.

Steve McQueen was the hippest man that ever lived. He was chilled to the bone cool. Any time, any place any situation and regardless of who was in the room, this man stood out by never trying to.

I've always said "James Cagney invented COOL and Steve McQueen perfected it!"

The odds of having aces full vs. a straight flush in a 5 card stud game astronomical. It's just insane. 5 card stud is a game you don't see around much anymore.

The entire movie and all the actors directed with the masterful hand of the director have given us a marvelous movie. every x years we can enjoy this masterpiece again. Greetings to the good fans of good cinema

From the rubble, a hero is born...

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.

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.

Back when actors were actors, good times.

Somehow the cards not only reversed order between 0:54 and 1:43, but look at the queen, it's not even the same style of playing cards.
