Paul Newman shines as cocky poolroom hustler "Fast" Eddie Felson in Robert Rossen's atmospheric adaptation of the Walter Tevis novel. Newman's Felson is a swaggering pool shark punk who takes on the king of the poolroom, Minnesota Fats (a cool, assured Jackie Gleason in his most understated performance). After losing big and crashing into a void of self-pity, Eddie meets down-and-out Sarah (Piper Laurie in a delicate performance), an alcoholic blue blood who's dropped into Eddie's world of dingy bars and seedy poolrooms. Eddie regains his confidence and attracts the attention of a shifty, calculating promoter, Bert Gordon (George C. Scott at his most heartless), who offers to bring Eddie into the big money--but at what cost? Rossen brings his film to life with the easy pace of a pool game, giving his actors room to explore their characters and develop into a razor-sharp ensemble. Eugen Schüfftan earned an Academy Award for his shadowing black-and-white cinematography, as did art directors Harry Horner and Gene Callahan for their deceivingly simple set designs. Even in the daylight this film seems to be smothered by night, lit by the dim glow of a bar lamp or the overhead glare of a pool-table light, an appropriate environment for this tale of one man's struggle with his soul and his self-esteem. Newman returned as an older, wiser, cagier Felson 25 years later in Martin Scorsese's Color of Money. --Sean Axmaker

Customer Reviews of The Hustler (Two-Disc Collector's Edition)

The Hustler - Still a classic
What else can you say? Paul Newman as the fallable Eddie Felson, Jackie Gleason as the great Minnesota Fats....even a cameo by billiards legend Willie Mosconi brings back memories of an era long since gone. If you haven't seen this (perhaps living in a cave), you must!


TWO OTHER TITLES THAT SHOULD HAVE COME OUT
As much as I love this film, and all of the actors, I just wish that instead of releasing a new version of this title SO SOON after the first version came out, two other titles featuring these two great actors should see the light of day. Newmans "SOMETIMES A GREAT NOTION", and Gleasons "SOLDIER IN THE RAIN", should really be released. If you have seen these films, you know what I mean. I would love to hear Paul tell about "SOMETIMES...", on a comentary track, along with a film expert, and what a great cast it has. It never would have been made if it wasn`t for him. And "Soldier..." with a young Steve McQueen as well as the GREAT ONE, is also up there in my book. So please, who ever is the powers that be, please try to get these two titles released.


Prequel to "Color of Money"
This film is so old it is in Black and White. Despite being very early in Paul Newman's career, he is already showing his ability as an actor. I had some trouble fully relating to the era being depicted as it was before my time. Still, the story has a plot and this movie makes a good background for "Color of Money". It has some other big-name actors in it, like Jackie Gleason, playing Minnesota Fats.
