The Hustler

"I don't rattle, kid.  Just for that I'm going to beat you flat!"

Paul Newman, as Fast Eddie Felson, is down on his luck and disgusted with having to hustle pool in dive bars.  He wants to play the big game for big money against Minnesota Fats.  He settles here for a $100 bet ($750 in today's dollars) against a "two bit punk."
