Review of The Hustler (1961) by Terence N — 17 Sep 2007
This is the film which should've won Paul Newman the Oscar instead of its sequel - The Colour of Money. Fast Eddie is one of Newman's best roles - a man whose pool skills can't outrun his own inner demons and hangups.
Jackie Gleason is great too - full of intensity as the great pool shark.
