He exuded class in the Hustler. Quite different from the other Fats. He was about 70 in the clip so he was hustling grade schoolers in the 1920s.

Class, and you took one look and knew Jackie could play! I always figured if they had given him another five minutes he would have pulled the movie out from under Newman.

I was a long time appreciating Jackie, it was my loss.

Check out his pinkie ring all through it, especially as he smokes all through it. Cat was ballin'. Can y'all imagine Gleason as a rack boy? In Brooklyn? Shame rackboys have disappeared.
