Yep, I know The Hustler is 47 years old, but it is very good. I had never seen it before, but Daniel picked it up a couple of weeks ago. He is a big Jackie Gleason fan.

You may not believe that a pool game can be exciting, but this movie will change your mind.

Add that drama to top notch performances by Jackie Gleason, Paul Newman, and George C. Scott. Then stir in real life drama and the excitement of the hustle, and you have a movie from the past that still is a great movie to watch today.

We give this movie two thumbs up!
