The review

She is better at the con than he is, and the film is warm about both of them. That warmth is the problem. In the Depression a small-time grifter is stuck with a girl who might be his daughter. They sell Bibles to widows. Black and white, often funny, and the affection is real. The work is still a cheat.

Funny is how the cheat starts to look harmless. It is not. The widows are paying for the charm. When she outsmarts him, do not clap for the cleverness alone. Love inside a grift can still be love. It does not turn the grift into a living, and the widows do not get their money back.

The glance

Industry and Piety and Courage and Republic and Temperance and Stewardship are the thin ones.

The poker is craft. The lesson they want is a hardening. Adults, and do not applaud the hardening.

The review

This is the Bond film that remembers a job is a series of choices with bodies attached. The card game is wonderful craft: reading a face, managing a sum, staying when you are losing. That part could teach a teenager something about nerve.

Then the education is completed by a woman's death, so the brand can have its armor back. Do not call that grown-up. Call it the old machine restarting. Watch the table if you watch it. Refuse the moral they wrote on her grave.
