Paul Newman's acting skills are very impressive, he feels familiar with it, and the climax of the deception designed at the end is commendable (Kangfu is to protect Hook, let people pretend to be the FBI, follow Hook and deduce Hook's true thoughts, and keep it at the critical moment. Hook's life was lost, and finally, in order to defraud the gambling money, a shootout was designed, and the details of the characters' expressions were particularly in place.) The tricks in it: the beginning of the package plan, the use of counterfeit money to fool the detective, the gambling lure plan on the train, and the set-up against the gang The boss's rhetoric, clever use of telegrams to use deception to eliminate the mistrust of the gang boss, the agency disguised as the FBI's intervention, the killer Salino's unexpected turn from lover to killer, group deception and betting on horses (a must for creating a scene), In the deceptive safe ending of "disguised FBI intervention", some people will ask the betting horse ending and Hook will know the plan and cooperate perfectly. There are two foreshadowings in the film. The plan, 2 is to pretend to be FBI personnel to rescue Hook from Salino and take him to the "horse casino". The plan should be revealed (although it has not been explicitly stated, but it has been implied) The film is small and exquisite, winning with plot and acting skills, low-key. It's easy to learn, it's worth learning
