This time, Rob straps in for the epic tale of "Fast" Eddie Felson, played by Paul Newman, in one of the most lauded films of 1961. Musings include the inside dope on the pocket billiards wizardry depicted in the movie, the curious case of Piper Laurie's hairdo, and the transcendent force of nature known as George C. Scott. This is one of the great, gritty, and ultimately tragic CinemaScope masterpieces of the period. 1.) Keep eyes peeled for Jake LaMotta's cameo as a bartender, and 2.) keep ears peeled for the sync-point countdown given at around the 1:35 mark and corresponding to the black-and-white 20th Century Fox logo that begins the film.
