The Sixties setting seems a shade gratuitous and its attitude to easy money is ambiguous, but the characters are well drawn and the story is sensitively handled.

As coming-of-age stories go, this one is an underrated treasure with Dillon and Crenna doing fantastic work.

Even if The Flamingo Kid comes out of sit-com country, the character and the performance effortlessly rise above their origins.

The Flamingo Kid is one of those rare films that follows a traditional method of coming-of-age storytelling and then shakes it up by not dealing us mere caricatures and stereotypes.
