Sinopsis(1)
Eddie Felson (Newman) es un joven arrogante y amoral que frecuenta con éxito las salas de billar. Decidido a ser proclamado el mejor, busca al Gordo de Minnesota (Gleason), un legendario campeón de billar. Cuando, por fin, consigue enfrentarse con él, su falta de seguridad le hace fracasar. El amor de una solitaria mujer (Laurie) podría ayudarlo a abandonar esa clase de vida, pero Eddie no descansará hasta vencer al campeón sin importarle el precio que tenga que pagar por ello.

It's been quite a few years since I've seen this beautiful black and white film, but it has left indelible memories in me to this day. Paul Newman excels in his best film role as a champion pool player battling fate, envy and himself. The love line, Newman's unfulfilled love for a young woman slipping into alcoholism, is one of the best I've seen in a film. Those nine Oscar nominations are very well deserved.

Watching Paul Newman play the pyramid made me reminisce about the years I spent feeling the same things by the pool table as he did winning over Minnesota. However, with every next beer there was more courage and less winnings. Therefore, there’s nothing to complain about. A could-be-real-life movie only with a more extensive story which is not essential here. There probably doesn’t exist a better game of pool made into a movie.

A good drama, but it struck me as primarily good rather than exceptionally so. Paul Newman is great here, as are Scott and Laurie. None of them are otherwise known for it, but it's really just the dark portrayal that elevates it into a good film. Man is a real problem to himself, but we all know that.
