Review of The Hustler (1961) by Alec B — 19 Feb 2013
What do you mean you haven't seen this?!? This film is noted in "billards" circles as single handedly saving the Billard industry. Willie Mosconi has a tiny part in it and can be seen racking the balls in the begining.
He had a deal with Brunswick Pool Tables as their spokesman, when they headr he was "in" the movie they threw a FIT! They thought it made the "Billards" industry look shaddy, and would hurt their image.
LOL!! It turned out to help them sell thousands of tables and brought a resurgence to the sport!
