The Flim-Flam Man (1967)


THE FLIM-FLAM MAN  (1967)  ¢ ¢ ¢
    D: Irvin Kershner
    George C. Scott, Michael Sarrazin, Sue Lyon,
    Harry Morgan, Alice Ghostley, Slim Pickens
A rambling, back-roads comedy about an old grifter (George C. Scott) and a young Army deserter (Michael Sarrazin) who team up to work a series of scams in the small-town South. One of Scott's rare laid-back performances (Note the W.C. Fields twang), and Sarrazin's first starring role (Whatever happened to him?). Lolita plays Sarrazin's love interest.
