Now that PWD doesn't own a Porsche anymore is he going to start boring us with Pool Hall stories?

14-1, AKA "Straight Pool"....another "great one" in that movie clip holds the world record. 526 balls without a miss. "Willie" in the movie is Willie Mosconi...many of the shots in the movie were performed by him.

It being shot in B&W really helps add to the dramatic effect...

"The Hustler"...IIRC, was nominated for 9 academy awards...and not one nude scene. Imagine that. I agree on the B&W...I wonder if a studio would have the guts to film that way these days...
