Eddie Plasson

“Eddie Felson” is one of the greatest films in the history of cinema. Eddie, a talented and ambitious pool player, sets out to prove himself against the legendary Minnesota Fats, and along the way must contend with love, victory, and defeat—and above all discover what kind of character it takes to reach the top. Newman and the ensemble are wonderful, while the cinematography, jazz, and direction come together to create cinema at the height of its power.
