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.
