Q&A with Norman Jewison!

Steve McQueen takes a gamble as the Cincinnati Kid in Jewison’s high-stakes poker drama set in the 1930s N’awlins of yore. When the reigning champ, “The Man” (Edward G. Robinson), rolls into town, the pressure’s on for The Kid to take him down. An all-star cast inhabits the Technicolor scenery of Tiffany lamps and cigars, including Karl Malden’s conflicted mentor, Ann-Margret’s glamorous sexpot, and Tuesday Weld’s wholesome country sweetheart. Featuring Ray Charles’s classic theme. With Joan Blondell and Rip Torn.
