The Hustler

Directed by Robert Rossen
They called him Fast Eddie. He was a winner. He was a loser. He was a hustler.

Fast Eddie Felson is a small-time pool hustler with a lot of talent but a self-destructive attitude. His bravado causes him to challenge the legendary Minnesota Fats to a high-stakes match.
