An Original Vintage Theatrical Color 8" x 10" [20 x 25 cm] Movie Still #9 (Learn More) The Cincinnati Kid, the 1965 Norman Jewison gambling professional poker card playing thriller ("He'd take on anyone, at anything, anytime... It was only a matter of who came first!"; "In the everything wild, winner-take-all world of The Man and The Kid, there was only one way to separate the men from the boys."; "Hear Ray Charles sing the title song!"; "Based on the novel 'The Cincinnati Kid' by Richard Jessup"; "Screen Play by Ring Lardner, Jr. and Terry Southern"; set in 1930s New Orleans, Louisiana) starring Steve McQueen (in the title role as The Cincinnati Kid; "The Kid..."), Edward G. Robinson (as Lancey Howard; "The Man..."), Ann-Margret (as "Melba..."), Karl Malden (as "Shooter"), Tuesday Weld (as "Christian"), Joan Blondell (as "Ladyfingers"), Rip Torn (as Slade), Jack Weston (as Pig), Cab Calloway (famous black African American singer and entertainer, who made many movie appearances as himself, performing, but in this movie, he had a rare non-singing dramatic role, as "Yeller", one of the poker players in the "big game"), and Kenneth Grant Sr. (in a memorable uncredited role as the shoeshine boy who lags dimes with Steve McQueen at the beginning and end of the movie). NOTE: Click on linked names to see a biography. Important Added Info: Note that this still shows the classic scene where Jack Weston folds, but he can't bear that Robinson might have been bluffing, so he grabs for Robinson's hole card, something you can never do in poker, and Steve McQueen restrains him! Also note that although this still was "printed in Great Britain", it has full NSS information. Perhaps it was intended to be used in both countries (we have heard from collectors who saw these color stills in U.S. theaters at the time the movies were released, but we have not heard from any English collectors as to whether they were used in England at that time). If any English collector knows if this was or was not used in English theaters when the movies were released, please e-mail us and we will post it here. Note that not only does our current auction of 999 stills represent the absolute finest selection we have ever had in terms of quality of image and film, but it also represents the finest CONDITION group of stills we have ever had! Half of the stills are graded as being in "very good to fine" condition (which is our highest grade for vintage stills), but we were very strict on this, because otherwise, perhaps two thirds or three quarters of the stills would have received this grade! We downgraded stills to "very good" for pretty minor defects, and many of these might have received our "very good to fine" grade in the past. And the half of the stills that ARE in very good to fine condition would likely be graded "mint" by any other auction! This is the finest group of stills I have ever seen, and I can only hope to equal it someday! Condition: very good to fine. The still is in very nice condition! Learn More about condition grades
