  • "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?"@en

  • "Echoing Rossen's earlier Body and Soul, this film works on a realistic level - here a convincing portrayal of the world of professional pool and billiards - and also at the level of more abstract connotation as a fable on the success-and-corruption theme. Scott plays the satanic figure, Newman the man driven by his refusal to face the possibility of failure. The physical lameness of the Piper Laurie character marks her as the knowing victim of their struggle."@en
