Rounders (1998) Rounders (1998 film) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (Redirected from Rounders (film)) Jump to: navigation, search Rounders Rounders Movie Poster Directed by John Dahl Produced by Ted Demme Joel Stillerman Written by David Levien Brian Koppelman Starring Matt Damon Edward Norton John Turturro Famke Janssen Gretchen Mol with John Malkovich and Martin Landau Music by Christopher Young Cinematography Jean-Yves Escoffier Editing by Scott Chestnut Distributed by Miramax Films Release date(s) September 11, 1998 Running time 121 minutes Language English French Budget $12,000,000 USD Rounders is a 1998 film about the underground world of high-stakes poker. Directed by John Dahl and starring Matt Damon and Edward Norton, the movie follows two friends who need to quickly earn enough cash playing poker to pay off a huge debt. The term "rounder" refers to a person whose sole means of earning a living is by playing cards. The movie opened to mixed reviews and made only a modest amount of money. However, with the growing popularity of Texas hold 'em and other poker games, Rounders has become a cult hit. Smart Money (1931) Smart Money (film) From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search Smart Money Directed by Alfred E. Green Starring Edward G. Robinson James Cagney Cinematography Robert Kurrie Editing by Jack Killifer Release date(s) 1931 Running time 81 min. Country United States Language English For other uses, see: Smart Money (disambiguation). Smart Money is a 1931 film starring Edward G. Robinson and James Cagney, the only time Robinson and Cagney made a movie together, despite being the two leading gangster actors at Warner Brothers studios all through the 1930s. Smart Money was shot after Robinson's signature film Little Caesar had been released and while Cagney's breakthrough masterpiece The Public Enemy was also being filmed. The Public Enemy had not been released and so Smart Money is the only film in which Cagney played the kind of supporting role usually done by Humphrey Bogart later in the '30s. Robinson plays a barber who goes to the big city to become a gambler but finds himself rooked by a blonde and a gang of thugs, whereupon he vows to take revenge, with the help of his own henchman in the formidable form of Cagney. The movie was directed by Alfred E. Green. A gentle-spirited film, Smart Money features some intriguing Cagney sequences, particularly a pre-Code pantomime of cunnilingus. Critics noted how well Robinson and Cagney played off each other but this was their only screen pairing (some cinema aficionados refer to this dilemma as the "Gene Autry-Roy Rogers effect" or the "John Wayne-Gary Cooper effect" or the "Cary Grant-any other commensurately important actor effect;" it's rather like Wild West gunslingers reluctant to go up against each other). Boris Karloff, not yet the icon he would soon become following his performance in Frankenstein that same year, has a brief role early in this film. Margaret Livingston, who plays the District Attorney's girlfriend, had portrayed the "Woman from the City" in F. W. Murnau's 1927 masterpiece Sunrise. The Cincinnati Kid (1965) The Cincinnati Kid From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation, search The Cincinnati Kid Directed by Norman Jewison Produced by Martin Ransohoff Written by Richard Jessup (novel) Ring Lardner Jr. and Terry Southern (screenplay) Starring Steve McQueen Edward G. Robinson Ann-Margret Karl Malden Tuesday Weld Joan Blondell Rip Torn Jack Weston Cab Calloway Music by Lalo Schifrin Cinematography Philip H. Lathrop Editing by Hal Ashby Distributed by Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer Release date(s) October 15, 1965 Running time 102 min. Language English The Cincinnati Kid is a 1965 film. It tells the story of Eric "The Kid" Stoner, a young Depression-era poker player, as he seeks to establish his reputation as the best. This quest leads him to challenge Lancey "The Man" Howard, an older player widely considered to be the best, culminating in a climactic final poker hand between the two. The script, adapted from Richard Jessup's novel, was written by Ring Lardner Jr. and Terry Southern; it was Lardner's first major studio work since his 1947 blacklisting as one of The Hollywood Ten.[1] The film was directed by Norman Jewison and stars Steve McQueen in the title role and Edward G. Robinson as Howard. Jewison, who replaced original director Sam Peckinpah shortly after filming began[1], describes The Cincinnati Kid as his "ugly duckling" film. He considers it the film that allowed him to transition from the lighter comedic films he had previously been making and take on more serious films and subjects.[2] The film garnered mixed reviews from critics on its initial release; supporting actors Robinson and Joan Blondell earned award nominations for their performances.
