The Hustler (65th Anniversary Screening)
With his boyish grin and laid-back good looks, Fast Eddie Felson (Paul Newman) has fleeced his share of pool-hall gamblers. Now the brash pool shark is after the king of the cue stick: Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason). But after losing to Fats in a grueling, 36-hour match, Eddie hits the skids. Only the intervention of a ruthless gambler, who stakes his claim to Eddie's soul, can teach this hustler the cruel art of winning. With Piper Laurie and George C. Scott.

"A wonderful hymn to the last true era when men of substance played pool with a vengeance." (Time Out Magazine)
"Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason give iconic performances in this dark, morally complex tale of redemption." (Rotten Tomatoes)
