  1. Such a breath of fresh air, so smooth, con after CON, these two made quit the Villians. Yet they seemed like heroes, so strange to be rooting for them against the machine!. Yes, humorous, yet the the underlying story is Truth and Legend.

  2. Just what I’m looking for!! 👌🏻 Thanks for uploading. I’m sure I’ll be having a good time watching this. Thanks again! ✋🏻

    Update: The chase scene.. 😄 who else remembered the movie The Blues Brothers? By the way this movie is entitled The Flim-Flam Man, 1967. 📽

  3. Wow! This is great! You posted this movie about three weeks ago and are nearly at 1 million views! Do you think the country is looking for what’s at the theater or what’s right here?! There’s many of us combing through the online videos just looking for good entertainment. Thank you for uploading this for us.

  4. It's a so so film. Doesn't bear repeat viewing. Watched the whole thing and didn't find it terribly compelling. Curley's character wasn't believable in the slightest. George C Scott acts well but this is light entertainment folks. LIGHT.

    The Flim-Flam Man 1967.(GC Scott.Sue Lyon.H Morgan.Albertson.Pickens.Sarrazin.W Rose.scp.Guy Owen.nov.Swink.ed.C LANg.ph.Jerry Goldsmith.)_1n.6.8_1h44_ ./ A rural con artist and an army deserter cheat the townsfolk and are aided by a rich gal who shields the fleeing duo from the wrath of the pursuing sheriff.// George C. Scott's initial film performances were usually quite dark ones, such as the forceful District Attorney in ANATOMY OF A MURDER or the cynical billiard player manager in THE HUSTLER. In 1964 he showed that he could be hysterically funny and still a dark figure in the film DR. STRANGELOVE as General "Buck" Turgidson. Turgidson is able to suggest that a mistakenly ordered attack on the U.S.S.R. with nuclear weapons should be followed up by a real sneak attack to finish off the "Ruskies", but he is capable of also getting so carried away with his fascination and love of flying that he can picture the formation of the fliers on the mistaken attack as beautifully skillful and trained to avoid being shot down – until he realizes they have to be shot down. It was a wonderful performance, and showed that he had a great sense of timing and comic rhythm. But it was not until 1967 that Scott got a comedy role that was not so dark. So instead of being one of the madmen who cause the world to come to an end, he played Mordecai Jones, the ace con-man of the modern age, who shows his young disciple Curley how corrupt the world is./ Scott went to town here as the grifter, cheating the likes of Slim Pickens (with the found wallet trick) and Strother Martin with an expensive gambling game that Michael Sarrazin (Curley) learns how to play for the prizes. He also manages to make life difficult for Jack Albertson and Alice Ghostley, whose daughter (Sue Lyon)ends up romantically tied to Sarrazin. Finally there are the guardians of the law, Harry Morgan and Albert Salmi, always one step away from catching Scott and Sarrazin (listen to Morgan's ridiculous conclusion that the two grifters fled across a deep river with a special boat – you can never hear the word "amphibious" again without smiling). The film reaches a climax when Scott is accidentally captured. But will Sarrazin demonstrate he has learned enough about con-games from the master to rescue "Ole Mordecai"?/ An entertaining comedy, and another worthy performance by Scott in his film career.// One of those movies that's fun to watch over and over. An all around excellent cast headed up George C. Scott as the traveling con-man . Support by Harry Morgan, Slim Pickens, Strother Martin, Jack Albertson, Michael Sarrazin, Sue Lyon. Woodrow Parfrey and Alice Ghostley make this comedy/light drama film a classic. The con games played on Martin, Pickens and Parfrey are truly great as well as the car and truck chases. You can't help but like this picture.///
