The Hustler - Blu-ray - Paul Newman heads a superb cast featuring Jackie Gleason, George C. Scott and Piper Laurie in the riveting film that received an Academy Award nomination as Best Picture of 1961 and brought all four of it's Oscar nomination. Newman (Best Actor nominee) is electrifying as Fast Eddie Felson, an arrogant, amoral hustler who haunts backstreet pool rooms fleecing anyone who'll pick up a cue. Determined to be acclaimed as the best, Eddie seeks out the legendary Minnesota Fats (Gleason, Supporting Actor nominee), who's backed by Bert Gordon (Scott, Supporting Actor nominee), a predatory gambler. Eddie can beat the champ, but virtually defeats himself with his low self-image. The love of a lonely woman (Laurie, Best Actress nominee) could turn Eddie's life around, but he won't rest until he beats Minnesota Fats, no matter what price he must pay.

From the moment she glimpses her idol at the stage door, Eve Harrington (Ann Baxter) is determined to take the reins of power away from the great actress Margo Channing (Bette Davis). Eve maneuvers her way into Margo's Broadway role, becomes a sensation and even causes turmoil in the lives of Margo's director boyfriend (Gary Merrill), her playwright (Hugh Marlowe) and his wife (Celeste Holm). Only the cynical drama critic (Oscar winner George Sanders) sees through Eve, admiring her audacity and perfect pattern of deceit. Thelma Ritter and Marilyn Monroe co-star in this acclaimed classic, which won six Academy Awards and received the most nominations (14) in film history.

This classic has never looked so good as it does on BD. The film holds you in every scene. Every time I re-watch the film (this time it was too long a break from my previous view (on DVD)) I find both narrative and performances nuances that I would not have seen before.

Despite what you may have heard, on't be afraid to like this film. If you have seen even a snippet of the film and thought - hmmm, that seems interesting, then you will likely love this film. Cinematically it is truly amazing. The performances are a wonder to behold, especially from the many people who may have never imagined ever performing in such a film.
In addition to a presentation of the family classic The Wizard of Oz, this release includes the documentary The Making of the Wonderful Wizard of Oz, a look at not only the creation of the movie itself, but how it has remained an American classic for decades.

Seeing this childhood classic in 3D generated from an 8K scan (75th anniversary) is truly eye popping. You quickly forget it wasn't filmed in 3D. If the film is already ingrained in your psyche you will be delighted as you rediscover many many moments anew. I already owned the previous 2D BD 70 anniversary edition with ALL the extras but for $10 I could not pass this up. Sadly this version omits many of those extras but not the most important ones and it adds extras of its own. So now I'm glad I own them both.

If you're not already a fan start eslewhere. Otherwise it's another solid Star Trek story. The 3D is great. But it's great to see Anton Yelchin enoying himself being so true to the Chekov character. He is to be missed.

I've had all kinds of problems with the knockoffs. This is the genuine article and Best Buy seems to have the best price around especially factoring the discount for Rewards members
