One of my English professors, Guy Owen, at NCSU wrote "The Ballad of the Flim-Flam Man" and other books, poems and more. "The Ballad of the Flim-Flam Man" was made into a movie in 1967 called The Flim-Flam Man starring George C. Scott and Michael Sarrazin, and the characters reappeared in two more books to "con" the greedy and gullible who only get what they deserve. This is one of my favorite movies. Here it is in YouTube segments. I hope that you have the time to enjoy it. The first time that I saw it was on campus one night when it was shown outdoors on one of the lecture halls.
