Fantastic movie. One of my ALL-TIME favorites! Highly recommend this Classic comedy. George C. Scott, a Great dramatic actor, shows a true flair for comedy timing & turns in an unforgettable performance As Mordecai Jones, MBS,CS, & DD. Why he didn't do more comedy has always been a mystery to me. The cast includes an assembly of some of the very best "2nd banana" character actors ever! And I believe it was Michael Sarazins' debut.Sue Lyon does fantastic job also. Thanks for the "post"!!
Yeah, this movie is okay if you like incredible acting talent, a beautiful leading lady, a sometimes hilarious and sometime heartbreaking script, and a wonderful score.But it's too interesting, too absorbing and keeps one coming back even after 40 years.
@lwfalz Hmmm, what country would that be in? Cause it sure isn't in the U.S. of A.! I've got this and a few other movies on my list on a couple of different websites, avidly waiting for their release for the last 4 or 5 years, and I can tell you THIS movie is not out yet! I certainly wish it were!!!
One of the best comedies of all time. This movie is right up there with The 3 Stooges, Bugs Bunny, Groucho Marx ect... It also tells and teaches us alot about the underside of all our personalities. Don't get to greedy, it may come back and bite you in the ars!
RIP Michael Sarrazin. Man, he was just so young here, tough to believe he's gone too. Should have been a much bigger star. Thanks for posting! Saw this in summer camp when I was 9, still remember every detail.
Great movie directed by a man who was one of George Lucas's film professors at the University of Southern California. The director of the Flim Flam Man also directed THE EMPIRE STRIKES BACK. Irvin Kershner.
I haven't seen this movies in over 25 years but George C. Scott tipped his hat to this movie in a scene from 'The New Centurions' when his character (Policeman Andy Kilvinsky) asks a cheque-forging suspect 'What have you been busted for? Forgery? Flim-Flam?"
I think that was an inside joke as the guy He will not get into that game as he heard of people loosing money. That is the magician who taught George C Scott how to play it for the movie.
Any movie buffs out there know if the opening score for this terrific little movie was ever used in another film? I seem to associate it with some other movie.
Confound these ponies. They drive me to accidental culture.

@yamsid This film was a short lived TV series in 1969 starring Forrest Tucker. The opening score may have been used in that.
