Robinson, Ann-Margret, Tuesday Weld, Karl Malden, Joan Blondell, Rip Torn and Cab Calloway.Eric Stoner, aka the Cincinnati Kid (McQueen), is a hot young poker player in 1930s New Orleans. When a much older master of poker, Lancey "The Man" Howard (Robinson), arrives in town, the Kid wants to play him.In his personal life, the Kid is dating a pretty blonde farm girl, Christian (Weld), but has obvious sexual tension with his friend Shooter's vixenish wife Melba (Ann-Margret). Shooter (Malden), for his part, is $12,000 in debt to William Slade (Torn), who hates Howard. Slade strong-arms Shooter into cheating on behalf of the Kid at the climactic poker game.

Bittersweet Ending: The Kid loses the card game, and knows that Howard is better than him (on top of now owing him $5000), but at least he gets back together with Christian.

Beastly Bloodsports: The cockfight scene, in which the insouciant Melba reveals a sadistic streak. She’s plainly aroused by the bloodshed.

comment
Betty and Veronica: The Kid is dating Christian (Betty) who is pretty, sweet, and kind of dull, but he's drawn to the wild and sexy Melba (Veronica), who is married to a friend of his but constantly flirts with him. True to form, Weld is a blonde and Ann-Margret is a redhead.
