The Cincinnati Kid - A movie on stud poker

Any body watched this old movie The Cincinnati Kid, an old movie from the late 1960's about stud poker? Although i dont play stud poker but it has some similarities to texas holdem poker and omaha, the range of hands are there, flushes, straights, pairs, full houses etc. The movie was great, me and my younger brother watched it on the computer on the way home back from work. I wont discuss the movies story here so that those who have not watched it can give it a watch, its a decent movie and good time pass. Nice to watch another movie on poker other than rounders which is another modern classic on poker.

Loved the movie was interesting to see how professional poker was played in those days unlike the casinos of today. I dunno if they still do this but they showed in the movie netime a player requested for a new deck they tore the old one in front of them and opened a new pack that seems old school dunno if they do it in Las Vegas not been there yet.
Found out about the movie here, thank you nitulbhatia , and watch it since.
Old american movie, nice, with no moral teachings (people smoke there, even "gamble" aka play poker), with lots of ordinary people in it, no fashion models with flawless bodies, no perfect smiles, but too self centered on one thing: the big game between those two.
But hey, this a sad movie, the hero lost, tho some can say that someone has to lose in poker after all. On second thought, not many poker related movies that are in an easy tone, even Rounders .

Hey im glad you watched the film muck and that you liked it, your correct in your analysis of the movie, and yes there arent many movies like rounders out there but i hope hollywood makes many more cool movies on poker, its such an exciting game it has a lot of potential.
