How was Lonnergan's thug able to see Newman's cards?
String bet, string bet, string bet….
Some movie!
Can anyone explain how Newman's character changes his hand to the jacks? Is there a detail in one of the shots that I missed? Or is the point that we, the audience, have been watching Robert Shaw's sneakiness so much that we missed Newman's? Not knocking it, I love this scene, just never figured out how he got the winning hand.
Pal
Robert Shaw is genuinely one of the most terrifying screen presences I've ever seen. It makes Newman's brass balls performance in this scene all the better. He's not intimidated in the least.
3:34 Does he sneeze Lonigans name here?? 😂🤣
One of the greatest guy movies ever.
Was Newman cheating the whole time even before the big hand?
The names lonnigan….Doyle lonnigan….
