If you think this scene was good you should see her in The Miracle Worker. Best Actress Oscar winner and hands down the most worthy performance ever to win that award!!
I watched this when I was a teenager and even then I thought wow she just stole the whole movie, made every actor in it look amateurish and she's only in it for this scene. a true professional , sorely missed
Vikz I remember watching this scene when I was 13 and I told myself someday when I was an adult I was going to have a glass of single malt scotch just because she made it look so good. 🤣😂🤣😂
There should’ve been a crash of lightning in the background when she said “welcome to the game“, Best line of the whole movie. Chills and goosebumps moment.
I agree!!! I was creeped out and scared when she did that 😅. I would've loved to see her add some horror movies in her repertoire because after she said "welcome to the game," I was thinking how creepy she was, lol
The plot turns here, and what a scene to mark the turn! Perfect. I've seen this scene many times since, but nothing can bring back the satisfaction of seeing it for the first time within the movie.
I loved those lines: "You're drunk." "Oh yeah? Well you're stupid.....see I can say that to you now that you're my son-in-law." Absolute gold! And, "HOW COME I HAVE THE JACK OF CLUBS IN MY FUCKING POCKET??!!"
I wish Anne Brancroft was in more movies over the years. I always loved her in "To Be or Not To Be" with her husband, Mel Brooks. And of course, The Graduate, without a doubt.
This was probably the most important scene in the whole movie. It reveals not just the truth about who Tracy really was. But exactly how her psychopathology began to emerge. It wasn’t just her father who taught Tracy how to be a con artist. It was also the mother…too drunk too self absorbed to intervene. This tells me Tracy was a sociopath not a psychopath. Psychopaths are born. Sociopaths are made.
One of the best scenes/cameos/performances on film- of all time! "Nobody wants Nothing." F'n Awesome. You're drunk. Well, you're stupid. I could say that to you because you're my son in law. Andy, is it Andy? I got it. Pick a card. Then why the F' do I have the J of clubs in my pocket! I could see this scene over and over, 1M X. F'n Awesome.
The timing in this scene is about as perfect as can be. After all these years, I still think about how Bancroft stole this movie with her brief appearance.
Single Malt Scotch. That is so classy, mister. Have I been talking to my shadow! Anne Bancroft should have won a Supporting Actress Oscar for this movie.
The cameos in this film are very well placed, but watching the film the first time, for an early 90s film, pay close attention to the twists, or you may get confused. I was too young for this in my early teens, but a few years ago, I saw it through, and despite some weird content, I enjoyed it. What can I say, I like movies and tv shows that make viewers think?
For me, I felt like she was almost talking in code. It impressed a lot of people, but I still can't figure out what she was trying to say until Andy said it. She definitely doesn't spell anything out for you (not that I usually need that, but in this scene, it would have helped lol)
@@MrCraigblaze I think for myself, too, MrCraig. If yoiu're trying to imply I don't, I really resent the implication! I'm only saying I found the scene really confusing and hard to figure out. If you understood what she was saying through the whole scene, good for you . I didn't and I doubt I'm the only one who felt that way.
This was the highlight of the movie. Oh Yeah? Well how come I have the Jack of Clubs in my fucking pocket!!!! The way she transversed through the emotions from remembrance, disappointment, hurt, and resentment to the burst of anger that this dude couldn't understand what she was saying then to the sly satisfaction that he finally got it and he was gonna sabotage the plans at her behest is a Master Class of Acting. She will always be missed.... what a scene.
ANNE BANCROFT ABSOLUTELY SHOULD HAVE GOTTEN AN AWARD FOR THIS SCENE..SHE KNOCKED IT OUT OF THE PARK...SHE IS, ALONG WITH SIGOURNEY WEAVER AND MERYL STREEP OUR FINEST ACTORS .. JUST AMAZING WOMEN. I COULD WATCH THIS SCENE OVER AND OVER.
Thanks for posting this. Almost every time i say the word 'card', I say it with a Bostonian accent... explaining this to my daughter meant downloading the film just to show her this scene. If anyone else asks, I can send them this link. =D
If there was a 90s Spiderman film Anne Bancroft could of played Aunt May, River Phoenix could play Peter Parker/Spiderman, Marlon Brando could play Uncle Ben, Sam Elliot could play J. Jonah Jameson, Brad Dourif could play Norman Osborne/Green Goblin, Paul Walker could play Harry Osborne, Christy Swanson could play Mary-Jane, Josh Brolin could play Flash Thompson and Tim Curry could play Dr Connors/Lizard.
SCENA MEMORABILE E LEGGENDARIA DI ANNE BANCROFT DA OSCAR CHE RIEVOCA LE ATMOSFERE DEI FILM THRILLER GIALLI E NOIR DI HICHCOCK ANNI 40 E 50 FILM INTROVABILE SU DVD.
Wow! Thanks for posting this. I've just finished reading Rob Lowe"s "Stories I Only Tell My Friends", and he mentioned the movie Malice - went to imdb and read someone's comment on Anne Bancroft's performance - so here I am to check it out. I really want to watch this movie again (seen it just once, years ago). Now, who wrote this, again....?
ok, she doesn't look so hot here but it's the character and the makeup. she looks like that curly-haired poodle-haired lawyer Lesley whoever. Anne's acting here is outstanding. She's gooooood.
I see a lot of comments here where people are extremely impressed with Anne's character. I guess this scene goes way over my head because I've played this scene three times now and still don't understand how Andy figured out Anne was hinting that Tracy set Andy up.
Besides the stories she told about Tracy, it was when she said "Why do you give a Frenchman's fuck who she sleeps with? Get into the game, go for the 20 million yourself!".
Did you see the movie? Lynn I can't understand why you don't get this. It's totally obvious. Anne gave "Andy" a clear view of who Tracy was. She (Tracy) had bamboozled him (Andy) from day one.
@@Mftjan2000 No, it wasn't obvious to me. She is NOT easy to talk to in this scene. I understand she is a bitter angry woman because of what happened to her.. I guess her husband left her or turned out to be a con-artist and her daughter left and never sent her any money. But I did understand with the other message you wrote. But it does not mean I am stupid for not understanding what she was saying in this scene, Mftjan. Some people just don't understand some scenes. I'm one of them and that's OK.
Taking Tracy's money from under the mattress...very similar story to a woman I dated for 6 years -her father stole money from dresser drawer...gf left rather imperfect me...! :D explains a lot!
Unlike Ms. Bancroft's character, I actually prefer 100-proof Schnapps that hits me like a lightening bolt. But I do agree that blended whiskey is still crap, nonetheless.
Great acting but what is the point of the card trick? Or is there not one? Help me understand. It's impressive writing by Sorkin and Scott Frank but are they just giving you a distraction? Is it to show Andy how easy it is to take advantage of him?
It was to show him that they were a family of con artists. She was pounding down that whiskey (single malt, not that blended shit...) and was able to pull off the card trick effortlessly.
I think Aaron sorkin only wrote some of the liberal stuff like the abortion doctor and the god complex speech and Scott Frank wrote the rest of the script being like a detective movie like Dead again 2 years before.
Flint Ironstag Yep, basically letting him know that he got played. I loved the way she was cutting the deck. Although, you can clearly see her palm the card and put it in her pocket.
TheMohawk she really did nail the Boston accent. Never heard an actor nail it like she did. BeBe did a terrible accent in this movie. Most actors butcher that accent to pieces and do not sound authentic at all.
She’s supposed to be an alcoholic whose husband ran out on her and she’s lived a rough life. She looks perfect for the part. This is one of the best scenes in any movie….she was great.
Her eyes as she says "Welcome to the game" always gave me chills. Malicious amusement. Fine scene.
She's proud of herself for waking him up.
Anne Bancroft was a genius. I watched this scene over and over again. She was one of my favorite actresses. I truly cried at her parting. What talent.
If you think this scene was good you should see her in The Miracle Worker. Best Actress Oscar winner and hands down the most worthy performance ever to win that award!!
@@auntiechercher4266 oh, I have. She is very missed. She becomes her characters.
@@jinxmas Absolutely! I think she was one of the best actresses in the 1960's but somehow she is underrated or so it seems!
Me too. Great acting
@@auntiechercher4266 Oh yes! She was stunning in that!
Anne Bancroft was pure, 100% Oscar material in this one scene alone. She should have gotten some sort of reward for this cameo scene.
I watched this when I was a teenager and even then I thought wow she just stole the whole movie, made every actor in it look amateurish and she's only in it for this scene. a true professional , sorely missed
This is one fantastic bit of character acting. Hard to find a better example in American film.
@@brucehanson9683 Watch Jo Van Fleet wipe the floor with James Dean in "East Of Eden."
The legendary Anne Bancroft sure had a LOT of fun in this scene, no question about that!
She swooped in, “let me show them how it’s done”!
@@susiebrown4988yes she did. She killed it.
Wow. Anne Bancroft - Incredibly talented. She stole the movie with her scene here. Amazing. 🤩
Damn she was absolutely awesome at her craft.
Bancroft introduced me to single malt! Love this scene in this entirety.
Vikz I remember watching this scene when I was 13 and I told myself someday when I was an adult I was going to have a glass of single malt scotch just because she made it look so good. 🤣😂🤣😂
@@tunacan6098 Hahaha same here

Me too
This woman ran rings around the entire cast in this small roll!
There should’ve been a crash of lightning in the background when she said “welcome to the game“, Best line of the whole movie. Chills and goosebumps moment.
I agree. When Bancroft smiled after the question & said that -she knew her pupil understood.
I agree!!! I was creeped out and scared when she did that 😅. I would've loved to see her add some horror movies in her repertoire because after she said "welcome to the game," I was thinking how creepy she was, lol

For a college Dean he had a lot to learn about multi generational con artists. Like shooting tuna in a barrel.
@@arizonalifestylechannel2186 Oh, call me Mom!😄
Yes brilliant....Harsh response immediately softened. Then back to the "lesson!" Incredible.
Anne Bancroft totally OWNED this scene by every measurable metric.
anne is brilliant in this scene !!!
FOI A MELHOR ATUAÇÃO DO FILME, FOI DESSA SENHORA, ÓTIMA ATRIZ.
To be fair, it is brilliantly written. So it's a combination of her incredible acting and incredible writing.
Great actors in this classic film. George C Scott, Anne Bancroft. Loved it
Anne was one of the best actresses of our time!Loved her.Never be another like her.!
I wish Anne Brancroft was in more movies over the years. I always loved her in "To Be or Not To Be" with her husband, Mel Brooks. And of course, The Graduate, without a doubt.
I Agree! She set the bar high!
Why she wasn't nominated for Best Supporting Actress because of this scene is BEYOND comprehension.
Anne should have gotten a best supporting actress nomination for this

It wasn’t just her father who taught Tracy how to be a con artist. It was also the mother…too drunk too self absorbed to intervene.
This tells me Tracy was a sociopath not a psychopath. Psychopaths are born. Sociopaths are made.
This was a really good thriller with so many plot twists!! It had excellent acting and directing as well. Definitely worth the watch.
Great dialogue and great scene. It’s not how long you are on in the movie, it’s what you do with your lines. Ann Bancroft was superb !!
This is Oscar material. It really is.
I've always thought that she was a GENIUS in this scene. I felt similarly about Heath Ledger in several of the Joker scenes.
This scene is why the movie is remembered.
I have never forgot this one scene. I can't remember much else about the movie only bits and pieces.
Anne Bancroft one of the best actresses ever.
Anne Bancroft stole this movie with this scene
Ms. Bancroft obviously had so much fun in this scene, that older lady was having the time of her life here.
She was great here...but there's definitely another scene that stole the movie for me
One of the best scenes/cameos/performances on film- of all time! "Nobody wants Nothing." F'n Awesome.
You're drunk.
Well, you're stupid. I could say that to you because you're my son in law.
Andy, is it Andy?
I got it. Pick a card.
Then why the F' do I have the J of clubs in my pocket!
I could see this scene over and over, 1M X. F'n Awesome.
Call me mom.
And you're stupid! (I can say that cause you're my son in law.)
Watched this movie last night for the first time. So good, and love this scene
I adore this scene. Bancroft is electric
One of the best scenes ever!
Does anyone know how the card trick was done?
The acting (especially hers) is spectacular. BUT, so is the writing!
@@Mftjan2000 she put in her pocket with her left hand. and when he put in the deck she put her finger above
@@rudolfbriski4853 I knew she put his card in her pocket but I still can't see how she got his card in the first place.

I got distracted by the college rapist storyline..I think that was a red Harring the movie put in to go with the Alec Baldwin role ?? Am I wrong ?? XD

You perfectly described all the changes Anne went through in this brief scene.
@@Mftjan2000 that scene should be studied in any drama class

I thought he took her advice at first...
He was a straightforward good man. Not into money. He wanted a loving wife and children.
She revealed that she knew the whole story all along.
