- A rising cardshark challenges a veteran player for the chance to be known as "The Man." Set in the swampy hedonism of New Orleans during the Great Depression, the card game is a gritty exploration of the manly sport of stud poker. As the men battle across the card table, the upstart realizes that someone is forcing the honest dealer to help him win.

- Critics' reviews
-
-
"It still stands up as a solid little poker movie, setting up the template for many imitators to come."
-
"An attempt to do for poker what 'The Hustler' did for pool, The Cincinnati Kid succeeds on its own, but it might have been a classic with some more attention paid to the script and, perhaps, a little humor"
-
"A young-Turk poker player challenges an old pro the way pool shooter Paul Newman took on Jackie Gleason in The Hustler, though the result lacks its predecessor's depth. Carrying Kid is one of the best casts ever."
-
"A vivid character study in the tradition of the not dissimilar The Hustler. Marvellous performances throughout ensure interest."
