The Cincinnati Kid movie sceneSteve McQueen never goes out of style. And Warner Home Video brought out McQueen’s 1965 poker movie The Cincinnati Kid on high-definition Blu-ray on June 14, 2011.

Nomindated for a Golden Globe Award for supporting actress Joan Blondell (Grease), The Cincinnati Kid stars McQueen as Eric Stoner, a.k.a. The Cincinnati Kid, an up-and-coming poker player in 1930s New Orleans. After traveling from one big game to the next — and one lady to the next — he’s pitted against legendary champion Lancey Howard (Edward G. Robinson, Soylent Green) in a high-stakes poker game.

The drama film, which is based on the novel by Richard Jessup and directed by Norman Jewison (…And Justice for All), also stars Ann-Magret (Old Dogs), Karl Malden (Patton) and Rip Torn (TV’s 30 Rock).

The Cincinnati Kid has been on DVD for a while individually and in boxed set collections.
