In the movie about pool, the Hustler, staring Paul Newman as Eddie Felson, Newman says...?

Question

let's do it Fats, you and me...... O.K., Eddie a few dollars a point.., C'mon, Fats, it's you and me, $100 a point.

Jackie Gleason playing Minnesota Fats smiles and says, ... no wonder why they call you Fast Eddie ! .... Rack 'em up.

Here we go Fat Man, fast and loose.

Was Eddie Felson right..... Is that what life is all about...?

Is life a whirlwind run for the roses, that's fast and loose, where to the victor belongs the spolis and nice guys finish last.

Or were the smoke filled pool halls of New York City, Chicago and New Orleans a place just to hangout, where every misfit in town listened to Frank Sinatra belt our 'Luck Be A Lady" and listened as Miles Davis gave us his rendention of 'Bye Bye Blackbird"?

Give it up, people, your answers...do it.

Fast and loose.

And, as a post script...What did you think of the movie, The Hustler, staring Paul Newman and Jackie Gleason?

Answer 1

loved the movie - loved paul newman - life is a whirlwind - we are all winners as long as we all play the game

Answer 2

Love every movie w/ Paul N. in it. Hombre the best.
No, life isn't a whirlwind - it's what you make it - everyone has their own life to live; their own choices to make, whether bad or good. The victor doesn't always get the spoils & nice guys finish first w/ me, so that's what counts. After me, you come first.

Answer 3

Wow, all of that to ask what I think about the movie Hustler? Well it was better than a three paragraph page of this!

Answer 4

Love the movie, life is not fast and loose. The nice guy wins more than you think.

Answer 5

Loved the movie and the sequel which was just as good. But your film class lecture bored me silly.

Answer 6

I'll just answer the P.S.- "The Hustler" is one of the quintissential movies of our time.
