Item Description
Paul Newman heads a superb cast featuring Jackie Gleason, George C. Scott and Piper Laurie in this riveting film that received an ACADEMY AWARD® Nomination as Best Picture of 1961 and brought all four of its stars OSCAR® Nominations. Newman (Best Actor Nominee) is electrifying as Fast Eddie Felson, an arrogant, amoral hustler who haunts back street pool rooms fleecing anyone who¡¦ll pick up a cue. Determined to be acclaimed as the best, Eddie seeks out the legendary Minnesota Fats (Gleason, Supporting Actor Nominee), who¡¦s backed by Bert Gordon (Scott, Supporting Actor Nominee). The love of a lonely woman (Laurie, Best Actress Nominee) could turn Eddie¡¦s life around, but he won¡¦t rest until he bests Minnesota Fats, no matter what price he must pay. Voted one of the year¡¦s ten best by the New York Times and Time, and distinguished by two ACADEMY AWARDS®, The Hustler is a dazzling cinematic triumph.
