An up-and-coming pool player plays a long-time champion in a single high-stakes match. Paul Newman won his Best Actor Oscar for its 1986 sequel, The Color of Money, but he executed an equally award-worthy turn in Robert Rossen’s jazzy, boozy pool-hall morality play.
"The sequences crackle with vitality as well as setting subtly the characterizations and packing the explosives to be detonated later." - The Hollywood Reporter
"A wonderful hymn to the last true era when men of substance played pool with a vengeance." - Time Out.
DOORS open one hour before start time. ***Come and see sequel - The Color of Money - on the following Sunday 20 Sept!
