There's a lot of other guff – Ann-Margaret and Weld play emotional and sexual games to win McQueen's heart and Torn wallows and wails as a player who gets annihilated by Lancey and plots his revenge – but none of it is half as entertaining or compelling as the mental battle between Robinson and McQueen.

 New York State Writers Institute - Cincinnati Kid Film Notes   (Site not responding. Last check: )
Howard Thompson of the NEW YORK TIMES (October 28, 1965) pompously characterized THE CINCINNATI KID as a drama that "pungently projects the machinations and back-room temperatures of the sidestreet professional gambling world." Sam Peckinpah began work on the MGM film, but the project was completed by Norman Jewison.
Steve McQueen plays the title role of "The Kid," who reviewer Thompson called "a derelict card wizard, on the beatnik side." Edward G. Robinson turns in one of his great performances as the undisputed poker kingpin, "The Man," whom the Kid is intent on toppling.
The Kid, intent on winning on his own and proving he is the best stud player alive, senses what's going on and eases Malden from his post.
