Continuing my alternating pattern between Paul Newman and Michelle Williams movies, I watched the Robert Rossen (All The King’s Men, Body and Soul) 1961 classic The Hustler. This movie stars Paul Newman (Cool Hand Luke, Hud), perhaps in his most recognizable role. If someone were asked to name a billiards player, either real or fictional, the name Fast Eddie Felson would be on the tips of most people’s tongues. Twenty-five years between the release of The Hustler and 1986’s The Color of Money is the longest period between an original movie and its first sequel. Newman’s performance as Fast Eddie in the sequel is the one that won him his overly due Oscar Win for Best Actor.
