High stakes poker!
Two great classics!
Great casts!
Cincinnati Kid and Big Hand for the Little Lady
Featuring Henry Fonda, Joanne Woodward, Steve McQueen, Edward G Robinson,
Joan Blondell and more!

Cincinnati Kid Summary (imdB)
In 1930s New Orleans, the Cincinnati Kid, a young stud poker player who travels from one big game to the next, stopping along the way up with various girls, is pitted against the legendary champion card-sharp Lancey Howard in a high-stakes poker game. Written by alfiehitchie

The film follows the story of a young poker player who comes to 30s New Orleans to face the best player of the country, the one known as "the Man". The Man has been the master of the game for many years now, so our "hero" thinks it is time for him to take his place. And he believes he can make it without the "help" a gangster offers. Written by Chris Makrozahopoulos <makzax@hotmail.com>

A naive couple and a child arrive to the town on the way to San Antonio, Texas to buy a farm there. There is a poker game between the richest men in the region. The man cannot resist it and though he is a very bad poker player, enters the game betting all the money of his family. In the climax of the game he suffers a heart-attack. His wife then takes his place in the table. That's the only way of recovering their savings. But there is a little problem. Can anybody explain her how to play poker? Written by Miguel A. Andrade <andrade@gredos.cnb.uam.es>

A Big Hand for the Little Lady (imBd)
A couple with a young son arrive in the town of Laredo, just as the five richest men of the area, are settling down to play the biggest game of poker of the year. When the wife disappears, the husband, after watching a few hands, joins in the game, only to lose most of the families savings. As the wife returns, he finds that he has dealt himself a winning hand, but does not have the cash to continue. In the following argument, he collapses, and his wife has no choice, but to continue with his hand, in order to win back their money, the only problem being, she can't play poker.

I just spent the last hour (or so) watching some of the best video clips of classic movies here! Some of these movies I have never seen before - only heard of - like, "An Affair to Remember" and there was a Hitchcock movie too, back several pages ago!

I liked Sophia Loren and Peter O'Toole in "Man of LaMancha" but I don't know if the movie is considered a classic?

I'm also a huge Doris Day fan! Pillow Talk, The Glass Bottom Boat, and With Six, You Get Eggroll are among my favorite movies that she stars in! I love her voice too!

I enjoyed spending time here tonight! Thanks to everyone here for all the great commentary and special thanks going out to Jet - for sharing all your talent and wealth of knowledge!!!

Lovely, first, to answer your ? on your rep post - yep, you guessed it, it's me Carmin, as I was known on the dash site, and the BFD site as well. Thought that name was getting a little rusty, so I reverted to my old alter-ego, Cinderella, lol.

Re your post here...I too love Doris, even tho she was a bit smaltzy and was in all those 'fluff' films with Rock, et al. A sidebar...Doris Day had a very successful career as a singer before entering film. She sang with a big band of the 40's - can't remember which one at the moment. She was in the band very early - I think she was about 19.

However, if you want to see the range of talent our girl Doris has, make a point to see 'Love Me or Leave Me'. Doris is fantastic in this. An added plus is James Cagney, his role in this is a nod to his 'gangster' films of the past. Both he and Doris give a tour-de-force performance. The story is based on the life of 20's big singing star Ruth Etting. I never heard of Ruth Etting until I saw this movie. I am going to google her on YouTube - hopefully they have some clips of her singing.

She was with Les Brown.

I love the movie because of the score— I have the music. With that, a reminder she appeared in "Young Man With a Horn" about the life of a musician, played Kirk Douglas.
The score is terrific and Harry James did the trumpet work for Douglas. It also stars Lauren Bacall and Hoagy Carmichael. (sp)
Great movie, great music.

I think this post would be more appropriate in the 'What are you listening to?' thread. This thread is exclusively for classic film discussion, video clips, etc.
