The Flim Flam Man DVD 1967
DVD Synopsis and information:
The
Flim-Flam Man (1967) opens with the blast of a train whistle, signaling
the heady onset of a journey into a kind of fairy-tale American past: a
gilded spot on the time-space continuum where, somehow, con artists are
loveable rogues, young men are naughty but nice Tom Sawyer types,
sheriffs are gullible but basically soft hearted, and only cheats can be
cheated. This is the whimsical side of the road-movie coin, a
warm-spirited precursor to the darker, meaner, tougher genre that would
become such a cinematic staple in the late Sixties and throughout the
Seventies, gifting us with everything from Easy Rider to Scarecrow to
Smokey and the Bandit. Given the conventions of these later
films, there are some uneasy moments when we learn, early in The
Flim-Flam Man, that young Curley Treadaway (Michael Sarrazin) has gone
over the hill from Fort Bragg after slugging his big-mouthed Yankee
sergeant. He will be hauled back, surely, and shipped to Vietnam wont
he? Not, happily, in this universe.
As is often the case, it took an
outsider to bring us this very American fable. Although born in
Jefferson City, Missouri, screenwriter William Rose was an early
volunteer in World War II, heading for Britain in 1939 to fight with
Canadas Black Watch regiment. After the war, he settled in England,
becoming a stalwart of British cinema, writing two comic classics, The
Ladykillers (1955) and significantly, a very early road movie, indeed,
the luscious Genevieve (1953). Venturing to Hollywood in the early
1960s, Rose hit his stride with yet another picaresque tale, the zany
Its a Mad Mad Mad Mad World (1963), which, like The Flim-Flam Man,
focused although in far less benign fashion on the nutty venality of
human nature. Chalk up another amazing performance for for Oscar
winning actor George C. Scott. One of Scott's finest performances. The Flim Flam Man DVD 1967 with George C. Scott is terrific.
Although not nominally a period
film, The Flim Flam Man 1967 DVD seems to exist in a timeless rural South (with
picturesque Kentucky locations standing in for North Carolina) of
gleaming fields, tree-shaded lanes, and tidy one-traffic-light towns.
Not a trailer-park or holler in sight. Scott and Sarrazin are terrific
together and have fantastic chemistry. Scott gives another effortless
performance in this movie. The Flim Flam Man DVD 1967 is a timeless film that has heart and fun at its core.
The
Flim Flam Man
DVD is another terrific performance by the immortal George C. Scott.
