| The Masterpiece that propelled Newman to Stardom! Paul Newman heads up a superb cast featuring Jackie Gleason, George C. Scott and Pipe Laurie in this riveting film that received an Academy Award nomination for Best Picture of 1961 and brought all four of it’s stars Oscar nominations. Newman 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 the best, Eddie seeks out the legendary Minnesota Fats (Gleason), who’s backed up Bert Gordon (Scott). The love of a lonely woman (Laurie) could turn Eddie’s life around but he won’t rest until he beats Minnesota Fats – no matter what the price he must pay. |
