In a nutshell, The Hustler, and its sequel – The Color of Money – twenty-odd years later, are films about the relationships among a talented but immature young man, his love interest, and the seasoned veteran who exploits / trains the young man’s talent.
Of course, this is a serious over-generalization; still, it would be interesting to compare the two films, a quarter of a century apart, not the least because of Paul Newman, who stars in the same role in both films.
What to me was most impressive about The Hustler was the opening. The charismatic Mr. Newman – and boy does he appear so young! – captures the audience effortlessly, with that big and almost childish (but nonetheless potently charming) smile. If I were female I would probably have fallen for Mr. Newman at that instant – and by saying so I am probably already revealing too much of my fondness for this actor.

這就是那部很有名的電影啦，早就知道Paul Newman剛出道的時候是和馬蘭白龍度，詹姆斯汀一樣的戲路，演壞男孩，不過一直都沒見識過，看的都是近20年的，他都演些德高望重，德藝雙馨什么的，這次終于滿足了我的好奇。年輕時候的他，真是美男子啊，面部輪廓特別優(yōu)雅。另外還有大家熟悉的巴頓將軍George C. Scott，演得那叫一個（殘）酷啊，剛毅的表情，完全缺乏同情心的表情，甚至把Paul Newman都壓下去了。他出演的簡愛里的羅切斯特，是家姐最愛的銀幕形象，呵呵~~~~

兩部后來的電影：金錢本色，遠離拉斯維加斯，都可以看出這部影片的影子，尤其是金錢本色，甚至出動了Paul Newman本人?？梢姳酒瑢γ绹娪暗挠绊懯呛苌钸h的。邊緣人，游離于社會期望之外的生活，象是馬蘭白龍度的欲望號街車直接開到了臺球廳，通過Paul Newman飾演的職業(yè)臺球騙子，把絕望和空洞的地下生活帶到你面前。

導演Robert Rossen，66年就去世了，本片獲62年奧斯卡9項提名，最終只有美術指導和攝影拿到小金人，小獎就獲了無數(shù)。
