Great essay! The skill and depth to plots in older movies. Of course there were standouts like George C. Scott, but the depth of the bench of quality actors was also much deeper.

George C. Scott was a brilliant and evocative actor (in this movie, in DR. STRANGELOVE, in THEY MIGHT BE GIANTS, and in several others). Sadly, the FLIM FLAM MAN is not available for streaming and a new DVD costs over $100.00. Thanks for sharing the story.
