‎HUSTLER THE 1960 Script‎

‎<br /><b>Robert Rossen screenwriter director <i>THE HUSTLER</i> August 20 1960 Based on the Novel by Walter Tevis August 20 1960.</b> <br /><br />Hollywood: Twentieth Century Fox 1960. Vintage film script quarto. Printed wrappers with some stains wear and chipping to yapped edges a few spots in text with one MS change to dialogue in an unknown hand overall NEAR FINE in VERY GOOD- covers 136 pp.<br /><br />For writer/film director Robert Rossen 1908–66 THE HUSTLER represented a major comeback. After attending New York University and working as a boxer pool hustler and theater writer/director among other jobs Rossen established his reputation as a Hollywood screenwriter in the late 1930s and early '40s with films like THEY WON'T FORGET Mervyn LeRoy 1937 THE ROARING TWENTIES Raoul Walsh 1939 THE SEA WOLF Michael Curtiz 1941 and THE STRANGE LOVE OF MARTHA IVERS Lewis Milestone 1946 graduating in the late '40s to writer/director with movies like JOHNNY O'CLOCK 1947 the boxing drama BODY AND SOUL 1947 and ALL THE KING'S MEN 1949 a political noir loosely based on the career of demagogue Huey Long that was honored with Academy Awards for Best Picture Robert Rossen Productions and Best Actor Broderick Crawford. Rossen was personally nominated for Best Director and for Best Adapted Screenplay from Robert Penn Warren's novel.<br /><br />Then at what might have been the peak of his career Rossen was blacklisted for having been a member of the Communist Party. Effectively exiled from Hollywood throughout the 1950s Rossen continued to direct off-beat projects like ALEXANDER THE GREAT 1956 – shot in Spain ISLAND IN THE SUN 1957 – shot in the West Indies and THEY CAME TO CORDURA 1959. Shot entirely on location THE HUSTLER 1961 was a return to Rossen's New York City pool hustling roots.<br /><br />While the movie might be characterized as a sports noir like Rossen's BODY AND SOUL Rossen himself described the film's style as "neo-neo-realistic." It's fundamentally a story about character and character interactions with billiards as a background. Deceptively the story at first seems to be about the battle of skills between up-and-coming pool hustler "Fast" Eddie Felson Paul Newman and seasoned professional pool player Minnesota Fats Jackie Gleeson. However after Eddie loses his first big confrontation with Fats the focus shifts to Eddie's relationships with an emotionally fragile woman named Sarah Piper Laurie and a professional gambler/would-be manager named Bert George C. Scott who in his ruthless need to diminish and control everyone around him becomes the narrative's true antagonist.<br /><br />In terms of autobiography the ultimate betrayal of Sarah by Eddie – for the sake of "winning" – has been said to parallel the Faustian bargain made by Rossen when he elected to name names to the House Un-American Activities Committee. Though all of Rossen's work reflects an interest in social themes – particularly the meaning of success in a capitalist system – his later films like THE HUSTLER and his last film LILITH 1964 focus increasingly on perverse and dysfunctional relationships. In Rossen's films we see a world of damaged men and damaged women of predators and prey.<br /><br />In Rossen's HUSTLER screenplay the difference between winning and losing is the difference between talent and character:<br /><br /><br /><i>BERT</i><br /><i>I don't think there's a pool player alive who shoots better pool than I saw you shoot the other night.</i><br /><i>pushes a potato chip into his mouth</i><br /><i>You got talent.</i><br /><br /><br /><i>EDDIE</i><br /><i>So I got talent Then what beat me</i><br /><br /><br /><i>BERT</i><br /><i>Character.</i><br /><br /><br /><i>EDDIE</i><br /><i>laughing</i><br /><i>Sure sure.</i><br /><br /><br /><i>BERT</i><br /><i>You're damn right I'm sure. Everybody's got talent. I got talent. You think you can play big-money straight pool - or poker - for forty straight hours on nothing but talent</i><br /><i>leans toward Eddie</i><br /><i>You think they call Minnesota Fats the best in the country just because he's got talent</i><br /><i>sips his drink</i><br /><i>Minnesota Fats has more character in one finger than you got in your whole skinny body.</i><br /><br /><br />The differences between Rossen's screenplay and the completed movie are largely a matter of trimming. The screenplay's opening scene establishing the story's principal location the Ames Pool Hall called "Bennington's" in the screenplay reminiscent in many ways of Harry Hope's saloon in O'Neill's THE ICEMAN COMETH has been deleted and some lines have been deleted or trimmed in almost every scene. Much of what is expressly stated in the deleted dialogue is implied in the completed film through an attitude or a glance. Among other modifications a scene between Eddie Bert and Sarah that takes place in a car in the screenplay takes place in a railway car in the movie.<br /><br />THE HUSTLER is in every way a triumph a screenplay that synthesizes the best of American theatrical realism – the plays of Eugene O'Neill Arthur Miller and Clifford Odets – with the best of the social realist tradition in American film. 20th Century Fox‎
