A rising cardshark challenges a veteran player for the chance to be known as "The Man." Set in the swampy hedonism of New Orleans during the Great Depression, the card game is a gritty exploration of the manly sport of stud poker. As the men battle across the card table, the upstart realizes that someone is forcing the honest dealer to help him win. (jakelijan virallinen teksti)

Priorisoi:
A decent gambling drama with a good atmosphere and an excellent cast (especially Karl Malden). I give it a fourth star for the ending. But if I knew more about poker than that it is not played with dominoes and that there is no halftime, I would probably have enjoyed the final duel, which did not do much for me.
