Scott) after beating Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason) and is banned from stepping into a big time pool hall. FILM DESCRIPTION: As The Hustler’s “Fast“ Eddie Felson, Paul Newman created a classic antihero, charismatic but fundamentally flawed, and nobody’s role model. A pool player from Oakland, CA, as good as anyone who ever picked up a cue, Eddie has an Achilles’ heel: arrogance. It’s not enough for him to win: he must force his opponent to acknowledge his superiority. The movie follows Eddie from his match against billiards champ Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason) as he falls in love with Sarah (Piper Laurie), an alcoholic would-be writer and sometime prostitute, and falls under the spell of Bert Gordon (George C. Scott), a successful gambler who offers to take Eddie under his wing and teach him how to play in the big time. However, when Sarah joins Eddie and Bert on a trip to Louisville for a high-stakes match with a dandy named Findlay (Murray Hamilton), the consequences prove tragic. Along with a classic performance by Newman, The Hustler also features turns by Scott, Laurie, and Gleason, in a rare dramatic role. Cameos from pool champ Willie Mosconi and boxer Jake LaMotta add to the atmosphere of Harry Horner’s grubby production design and Eugen Sch CREDITS: TM & © Fox (1961) Courtesy of Twentieth Century Fox Film Corporation Cast: Jackie Gleason, Paul Newman, George C.
