20th Century Fox Home Entertainment will release The Hustler 50th Anniversary Edition Blu-ray starring the legendary Paul Newman (Road to Perdition) as pool shark Fast Eddie Felson on May 17, marking the classic film’s high-definition debut. It will carry a list price of $34.98.
Paul Newman is Fast Eddie Felson in The Hustler.
In the movie drama, Fast Eddie has fleeced his share of pool-hall gamblers, but now has his eye on one man: pool champ Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason, Skidoo). But after losing to Fats in a grueling, 36-hour match, Eddie hits the skids. Only the intervention of a ruthless gambler (George C. Scott, Taps) who stakes his claim to Eddie’s soul can teach this hustler the cruel art of winning.
Directed by Robert Rossen, The Hustler racked up nine Academy Award Nominations, including Best Picture, and features one of the late Newman’s most powerful and memorable performances.
