The Color of Money
1986
***½
Director: Martin Scorsese
Cast: Paul Newman, Tom Cruise, Mary Elisabeth Mastrantonio, Helen Shaver

The sequel to The Hustler is a slightly overlong drama about an old and a young pool hustler. Paul Newman deserved his Oscar and Tom Cruise is also good. Martin Scorsese was hired to direct.
