Director: Robert Rossen
Cast: Paul Newman, Jackie Gleason, Piper Laurie, George C. Scott, Murray Hamilton, Michael Constantine, Stefan Gierasch, Jake LaMotta, Vincent Gardenia, Myron McCormick, Clifford A. Pellow, Gordon B. Clarke, Alexander Rose, William Duell, Charles Dierkop
Paul Newman plays pool shark "Fast" Eddie Felson who yearns to beat Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason) for the thrill of hitting the big time instead of hustling in sleazy pool halls. Minnesota Fats: "No bar, no pinball machine. Just pool. This here is Ames, son." The story involves Eddie's match with Minnesota Fats and also covers his romance with alcoholic Sarah (Piper Laurie), his teaming up with backer Bert Gordon (George C. Scott), and the tragic trip to Louisville for a big match with Findlay (Murray Hamilton). The film received Oscar nominations in all of the top six categories (nine total), but won only two: Best Art Direction/Set Decoration and Cinematography. 1 User Review
