The Cincinnati Kid......Steve McQueen.....and the gawd Edward G Robinson.

Talk about another actor that NEVER changes his character. Always the bad guy. But je’s So good at it.

they couldn’t afford Tracy because he was asking to much for the role........so Edward G Robinson came to be. I loved him in this....really couldn’t see Spencer doing the role anyway. Great movie.
