The Cincinnati Kid 1965
Jewison had already been directing for over a decade and was in his 40s when he made this so it's only in hindsight that this would be considered an early effort. And thus it shouldn't be surprising how mature a work it is. It actually delivers on the promise of the gobsmacking prestige in the credits (Terry Southern! Hal Ashby! Lalo Schifrin!) No handholding, pandering or condescension. A new favorite for me.
