When one thinks of terrific comic actors of the 1960s, thoughts immediately turn to Jack Lemmon or Jerry Lewis, Cary Grant or maybe even Tony Curtis and Rock Hudson, but George C. Scott is probably one of the last actors one might think of in a comedy role. And yet the highly regarded dramatic actor appeared in more than a handful of comic-tinged films during his long career, and in Irvin Kershner’s The Flim-Flam Man, he gives what is probably his most secure comic performance by not trying to be especially funny. He can’t help it, though: his sense of impish fun and canny mischief makes this one of his most delectable screen roles.
