March 6, 2010
Gunfight at the O.K. Corral is one of many films to feature poker player Doc Holliday — yes, the original Doc. Great line: “Doc, what are you doing up… it’s only three!” Gunfight also has a scene where Wyatt Earp jails a woman simply because she’s playing cards!
The Gambler From Natchez: ‘How did you know he was bluffing?’ “He kept looking back at his hole cards. If you got it, you don’t need to keep looking back to see what you got.”
A Man Called Sledge: “Hate don’t belong in a card game, but old man, I’m gonna take every grain of gold you have in front of you.”
Cheyenne Autumn (Wyatt Earp to Doc Holliday discussing what to do with a card cheat in their three-handed game): “If we shoot him, we won’t have anyone to play with.”
Flame of the Barbary Coast: “A deck of cards is like a woman — usually when you pick one up, you wish you hadn’t.”
Dakota: ‘$20,000, you couldn’t win that in a poker game!’ “Not unless I was dealing.”
Robin and the Seven Hoods (1964): “When your opponent is holding all the aces, there’s only one thing to do. Kick over the table.”
Canary Murder Case: “A man’s true nature comes through when playing cards.”
My Little Chickadee: “Is this a game of chance?” “Not the way I play it, no.”
Michael Shayne – Private Detective: “Never play the other fellows game.”
