They called him "Fast Eddie"... He was a winner... He was a loser... He was a hustler.

Description

Paul Newman heads a superb cast featuring Jackie Gleason, George C. Scott and Piper Laurie in this highly acclaimed drama. Newman electrifies in his Oscar-nominated portrayal of Fast Eddie Felson, an arrogant hustler whose unbridled ambition drives him to take on pool-playing legend Minnesota Fats (Gleason), regardless of the consequences if he loses. Voted one of the year's ten best by The New York Times and nominated for eight Academy Awards, The Hustler is a dazzling cinematic triumph.
