Paul Newman heads an all-star cast that includes Jackie Gleason and George C. Scott in this 1961 Best Picture Oscar® Nominee. Fast Eddie Felson (Newman) is a charming backstreet poolroom hustler who’s determined to unseat the legendary Minnesota Fats (Gleason), and he won't rest until he beats him, no matter the price. But the price turns out to be much higher than he could ever have imagined.
