...Hustler. Director Robert Rossen racks up an impressive total score in this tale of a young pool paladin (Paul Newman) who learns on the Field of the Cloth of Green that character, meaning Old Champ Jackie Gleason, is more important than talent...

The name of his TV character, Paladin, is meant to suggest a knight errant. But the hero of Have Gun, Witt Travel is actually just a hard-boiled egghead, western style, who spouts Shakespeare while the lead flies, smokes 58? cigars, advises the public to "try marinating venison in whisky." He is a private eye in peewees, and though he always...
