I was not aware of that Gleason quote about Murray Hamilton. Like many, I only knew of him from JAWS but he was so good in THE HUSTLER. They way he hustles Newman's character initially is amazing.<br /><br /><br />le0pard13:<br /><br />Thanks for sharing your experiences with this film. I love Newman in this film. Next HUD it's probably my fave performance of his. As you point out, the film is full of great performances - Piper Laurie is incredible and shoulda won the Oscar.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08164105442273577128noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5407391624985829089.post-9665539585752272542010-01-04T16:40:25.211-05:002010-01-04T16:40:25.211-05:00You're bringing up some great old memories wit...You're bringing up some great old memories with this one, J.D. I cannot forget the one Saturday late night TV session I had with this one as a teen (way back when). I agree with you, too, that this marked Newman as a real actor, and an unafraid one, too. This film had so many great performances within it, as well. And that, "<i>and Gambler Scott looks as though he could sell hot-air heat to the devil</i>” quote from TIME is outstanding. Way to start the new year, J.D.!

George C. Scott is magnificent. <br /><br />And I love that Gleason said in an interview that Murray Hamilton, who plays the fey Southern pool fan, should have been nominated for the Best Supporting Actor over him.christianhttp://christiandivine.wordpress.com/noreply@blogger.com
