  • 1961
  • FULL HD

Paul Newman heads a superb cast featuring Jackie Gleason, George C. Scott and Piper Laurie in the riveting film that received an Academy Award® nomination as Best Picture of 1961 and brought all four of its Oscar® nominations. Newman (Best Actor nominee) is electrifying as "Fast" Eddie Felson, an arrogant, amoral hustler who haunts backstreet pool rooms fleecing anyone who'll pick up a cue. Determined to be acclaimed as the best, Eddie seeks out the legendary Minnesota Fats (Gleason, Supporting Actor nominee), who's backed by Bert Gordon (Scott, Supporting Actor nominee), a predatory gambler. Eddie can beat the champ, but virtually defeats himself with his low self-image. The love of a lonely woman (Laurie, Best Actress nominee) could turn Eddie's life around, but he won't rest until he beats Minnesota Fats, no matter what price he must pay. Voted one of the year's ten best by "The New York Times" and "Time," and distinguished by 2 Academy Awards- Cinematography, Art Direction-Set Decoration (B&W), The Hustler

The Hustler Film Synopsis

Slow and badI’m shocked at the positive reviews for this movie. I can’t believe Jackie Gleason was nominated for an Oscar. He had three lines and shot some pool! There must have only been five movies produced that year. If I hadn’t have been watching it while in flight, I would have walked out after 30 minutes. Spend your money elsewhere..Score: 1/5

Dopo avere finalmente battuto "il migliore", Eddie prende coscienza di quanto sia caduto in basso per raggiungere il suo scopo.

Eddie Felson to typ aroganta. Świetnie gra w bilarda i spędza większość swojego czasu ze swoim przyjacielem, Charliem Burnsem. Pewnego dnia, mężczyzna postanawia zacząć grać o wysokie stawki i rzucić wyzwanie renomowanemu graczowi zwanemu "Minnesota Fats". Podczas 40-godzinnego maratonu Eddie zalicza wzloty i upadki. Zarabia 18 tysięcy dolarów, ale nie wie, kiedy powiedzieć "dość". Wypija za dużo alkoholu i traci wszystko, włącznie z pewnością siebie i w swoje umiejętności. Dzięki pomocy swojej dziewczyny Sarah odbudowuje poczucie własnej wartości, ale jego nadmierne ambicje powodują kolejne problemy w życiu osobistym i doprowadzają do rewanżowego pojedynku z "Minnesotą Fatsem".

All the King's Men summary, synopsis, reviews
All the King's MenDrama1949

In a bravura performance, Broderick Crawford won the 1949 Academy Award for Best Actor with his stunning portrayal of bull-headed, backwoods lawyer Willie Stark, in this powerful drama about political and personal corruption. A somber but realistic chronicle of raw, brutal power in force, ALL THE KING'S MEN is based on Robert Penn Warren's Pulitzer Prize-winning novel of the same name. It was brought to the screen in 1949 by producer Robert Rossen who also wrote the screenplay and directed the film. The story was inspired by the rise and fall of southern bigwig Huey Pierce Long, the infamous "Kingfish" who was Louisiana's governor and one-time senator. Long's cunning tactics of building public works during the depression to serve his own needs more than those of his constituents eventually brought about his own assassination in 1935. A compelling story of a self-made, self-styled politician, it was politics that almost prevented Rossen from making ALL THE KING'S MEN in the first place when he was named by the House Committee on UnAmerican Activities in 1947 for having Communist sympathies. Rossen's denial of this to Columbia chief Harry Cohn enables him to continue work on the film; but his earlier radicalism eventually surfaced and Rossen made only one film (The Brave Bulls) in the next five years. Nonetheless, ALL THE KING'S MEN remains a hallmark political film with superb performances throughout. John Ireland garnered an Academy Award nomination for his role as Stark's tortured right-hand man, while Mercedes McCambridge won an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress as Sadie Burke, Stark's callous, conniving political aide. In addition, the film won an Academy Award for Best Picture along with nominations for Directing, Writing and Film Editing.
