The Flim-Flam Man (1967)

Charming comedy about a rural con-man (George C. Scott) and his new protege (Michael Sarrazin). Beautifully photographed in Kentucky with an excellent score by Goldsmith. Notable for Scott's jubilant performance and the excellent supporting cast including: Slim Pickens, Harry Morgan, Strother Martin, Alice Ghostly and Albert Salmi. Flaws: The film drags at times - the Sarrazin-Sue Lyons romance is a low-point.

Summary - A slight, easy-going comedy made enjoyable by Scott and the other actors. Written by William Rose, who scripted "Genevieve (1953)". Rating ***
