Вспомнила об одном из непросмотренных фильмов Скорсезе, как раз с Полом Ньюманом, и к счастью, имеющемся у меня на полке в магазине.
Я даже не читала про что этот фильм, с такими создателями. А как оказалось это СИКВЕЛ БИЛЬЯРДИСТА!
Я была приятно удивлена узнав это. Ну, и что говорить, когда один классик снимает в своем фильме другого.
Отличный фильм!



Только вот у Тома Круза такая дурацкая прическа.

At one point in the film, Eddie comments that it has been "25 years" since he last played.
In real life, it had been 25 years (1961 - 1986) since The Hustler, where Newman had first played Fast Eddie.

Paul Newman says the best advice director Martin Scorsese gave him, especially in humorous scenes, was: "Try NOT to be funny."

An earlier screenplay was written by Walter Tevis, author of the novels "The Hustler" and "The Color of Money".
But Martin Scorsese was not interested in doing a literal sequel to The Hustler and worked out a new story with Newman and Richard Price.

Tom Cruise did his own trick shots for the film, except for one in which he had to jump two balls to sink another.
Scorsese said he could have let Cruise learn the shot, but it would have taken two extra days of practice, holding up production and costing thousands of dollars.
The shot was instead performed by professional player Michael Sigel.

When Paul Newman won the Best Actor Oscar for this picture, he and wife Joanne Woodward became the first married couple to win his and hers Oscars since Vivien Leigh and Laurence Olivier.
Newman's win also came after he had already received an Honorary Oscar Statuette the previous year.
The win was widely considered based on sentimentality and guilt that one of Hollywood's leading male actors had never won.

When The Hustler first came out, there was an increase in the sales of pool tables around 1961, the film apparently causing a popularizing of the pastimes of pool playing and billiards.
When this sequel was first released, a similar phenomenon occurred, trade paper 'Variety' reporting, "...
sales of pool tables and billiards-related supplies have leaped dramatically since the October release of The Color of Money."
