Rating: 4/5 --
Under Robert Rossen's strong direction, its ruthless and odorous account of one young hustler's eventual emancipation is positive and alive.

New York Times
The Hustler belongs to that school of screen realism that allows impressive performances but defeats the basic goal of pure entertainment.

Variety
This is one of Newman's very best films, if not his best, even if it's relentlessly depressing.

Combustible Celluloid
Rosen, the co-author, has directed with a sure, economical hand. Newman is first-rate.

The New Republic
Newman gives a restrained, modulated performance, an unusual one in that character development is sought and achieved with utilization only of voice, gesture, intensity.

See THE COLOR OF MONEY, an excellent sequel made 25 years later, for which Newman won Best Actor. Academy Award Nominations: 9, including Best Picture; Best Director; Best Actor, Paul Newman; Best Adapted Screenplay.
