"One of those films where scenes have such psychic weight that they grow in our memories."
—Roger Ebert
Paul Newman created one of the most indelible characters of the 1960s in Fast Eddie, the hotshot young pool shark who sets out to defeat reigning champ Minnesota Fats (Jackie Gleason)—but not before confronting his own personal demons. Eugen Schüfftan’s Oscar-winning cinematography perfectly captures the gritty atmosphere of smoky backroom pool halls where reputations can be made and broken with a single shot.
