I never would have guessed him to be that old.

The Flim-Flam Man was in 1966. That would have made him twenty-five at the time. Only a couple years older than his character.

The Flim Flam man is a great George C. Scott movie. I feel the only role he did better than Mordeaci Jones was “Patton”.

Fine actor. I mostly remember him as the Monster in the TV mini-series “Frankenstein” from the 70’s and the one he made with Paul Newman “Sometimes a Great Notion.” RIP

Having seen and enjoyed Sarazin in The Flim-Flam Man, I would never have guessed he was 70... and I’m feeling very very old.
