I just watched the Cincinnati kid. Though it is by no means a perfect movie, it is a generally exceptionally good movie, and there are plenty of good outfits, which I plan to spend the rest of the week ranting about here. Steve McQueen is at the top of his form, Edward G Robinson makes the best aging great ever, the direction and music are quite good, and the clothes are absolutely top-notch.
Take the above image. Both men are wearing three-piece suits, one of them with an odd vest. The shirt cuffs are perfect, and the older man dresses himself with more formality and is a bit more dapper, as is his due. His gray colors match well with the graying hair. Though he is shorter, the height of his collar and the tilt of his hat both make him seem to be looking at the taller man eye to eye. The green silk scarf is a wonderful accessory, as is the small, but slightly off-center tie pin.
And that's the image without McQueen.
