Very cool.

I think there was also a deleted scene where Eddie is playing Fats, and he gets a bad roll. Eddie says, "Look at that ball roll!" Fats replies, "They're supposed to roll, Eddie, they're roooouuuunnnnd."

That's some scene! Great dialogue backed up by great acting. It's scenes like this that make The Hustler an all time classic.

Thanks so much for sharing this! I just watched the movie Friday. I bought the DVD, which, it happens, has some additional content, including an explanation of the most interesting shots.

I read that there was a scene where Fast Eddie makes speech in the pool hall, and it was cut because it "didn't move the story." Paul Newman contended that that cost him the Oscar. I have been searching, but haven't been able to find it.

Among my great regrets are, having grown up in the Bronx in the '60's and '70's, not visiting the famous pool halls of New York.
