Trailer
Hustler, The
1961
Paul Newman scores as tragic, flawed pool hustler "Fast Eddie Felson" in a brooding drama that explores the synergies between good and evil, love and desperation. Felson tours the country hustling games -- even challenging reigning champion Minnesota Fats (a fabulous Jackie Gleason). Co-starring Piper Laurie and George C. Scott, The Hustler was followed 30 years later by the sequel The Color of Money, starring Newman and Tom Cruise. Rack 'em up!
They Called Him "Fast Eddie"
