young pool shark to become the nation*s
all-time champion is the crux of Robert
Rossen*s fast-paced production "The Hus
tler,” opening Thursday, September 6 at
the GALAX THEATRE, The CinemaScope film
stars Paul Newman, Jackie Gleason, Piper
Laurie, George C, Scott and Myron McCor
mick, and was shot against the authentic
backgrounds of New York's levels of life,
its multiple underworlds, its fashionable
and pseudo-elegant society, the daily flow
and flux of the world* s greatest melting
pot.
"Fast" Eddie (Paul Newman) has arriv
ed in the big city with his friend and
manager Charlie Burns (Myron McCormick)
after a hustling career in the West. Ob
sessed with one aim only, to take on the
legendary Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason),
undisputed champion in the field, Eddie
is equipped with cash and a cold resolve
that beats out all other loyalties. The
game in on, a nerve-grinding, exhausting
battle of skills, wits and stamina. Eddie
loses, but he has been watched by'dBert
(George Scott) 1 a big-time money man who
exploits poolroom talent for percentage.
Defeat draws Eddie into the aura of
a desperate street waif named Sarah, (Pi
per Laurie), a strange, lame, humiliated
girl whose own insecurity has turned her
toward alcoholism and isolation. Her un
derstanding of Eddie's blind need to be a
winner gives Sarah a new purpose, and she
attempts, through love, to awaken some in
stinct of decency in him. Failing to re
shape Eddie, her will to preserve is lost
in the welter of peverty and perversion
that have overwhelmed all of them, and she
takes her own life. It is in this act
that she accomplished the regeneration of
Eddie, who, now aware of the waste of hu
man life for which he has been responsible,
returns to beat Minnesota Fats in a
climactic and perfect game, and, in a
showdown with Bert, regains his personal
respect.
