Martin Scorsese's 'The Color of Money' (40th Anniversary Restoration)
Just in time for it's 40th Anniversary, Martin Scorsese's THE COLOR OF MONEY has been given the restoration treatment - and it will be having its big screen, Canadian debut at the Park Theatre as part of a double bill alongside it's "prequel," Robert Rossen's revered 1961 sports drama THE HUSTLER, on Sunday, April 19.
Set 25 years after the events of THE HUSTLER, Paul Newman reprises his role as “Fast Eddie” Felson. Eddie still plays pool, but not for money and not with the high-stakes, dangerous kinds of players who drove him from the game. He is a liquor salesman, a successful one, judging by the long, white Cadillac he takes so much pride in. One night, he sees the talented but very green Vincent Lauria (Tom Cruise) playing pool, and the kid is so good that Eddie’s memories are stirred, and he decides to return to the game, and proposes a partnership. With Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio, Helen Shaver, John Turturro.
With introduction from Melanie Friesen. Melanie presented the much-loved Cinema Salon series for 20 years at Vancity Theatre. At one time, she was the VP of Scorsese Productions for 4 years in New York, which makes her a great fit to present this double feature.
"A joy to see two masters (Scorsese and Newman) at ease with their work, and one, Cruise, in the making." (Empire Magazine)
"A solidly crafted entertainment that, for the most part, strikes a successful balance between commercial necessity and personal expression." (Chicago Reader)
