Clarke (Cashier), Alexander Rose (Score keeper), Carolyn Coates (Waitress), Carl York (Young hustler), Vincent Gardenia (Bartender).Originally produced as an American motion picture in 1961.New York. Ames Billiards, with high ceilings and air of hushed concentration, is a church of pool. "Fast" Eddie Felson enters as an innocent con man and leaves with a taste of what the world can do, that talent alone will only get him so far, and that a man's search for "character," that hard-to-define quality that is simultaneously elusive and essential, could last a lifetime. Having come to take on pool legend Minnesota Fats, Eddie is soundly beaten because he doesn't know how to control his impulses. He finds comfort with down-and-out Sarah, a lonely part-time student with a drinking problem, and plans a comeback. Eddie makes a deal with Bert Gordon, a big-time gambler, to act as his manager and stake horse. Under Gordon's tutelage, Eddie learns hard lessons fast. In his rematch with Fats, Eddie wins a bittersweet victory, but can he regain his self-respect?DVD; Region 1, NTSC; Dolby digital stereo (English only), Dolby digital mono.; anamorphic widescreen presentation, 2.35:1 aspect ratio.Named to the National Film Registry in 1997 by the Library of Congress.Winner, 1962 Academy Awards for Best Art Direction-Set Decoration, Black-and-White--Harry Horner, Gene Callahan; Best Cinematography, Black-and-White--Eugen Schüfftan; 1962 BAFTA Film Awards for Best Film from any Source; Best Foreign Actor--Paul Newman.
