| buzzpaff Member since: Mar 8, 2011 Threads: 82 Posts: 2835 | Gentlemen or Rogue Just watched Stagecoach last night. Was there ever a better portrayal of a Southern Gentleman Gambler than John Carradine as Hattfield. In an earlier scene you could suspect his name was Greenfield but his dying words confirmed it. " If you see Judge Greenfield,tell him his son............" Trying to que up a list of movies for Netflix featuring great performances as gamblers. The Hustler had great performances by Paul Newman and George C Scott, but Jackie Gleason as Minnesota Fats made the movie for me. The Willie who held the stake money was Willie Mosconi, still straight pool holder of record 523 without a miss. I thought Fast Eddie was gonna Lose again until in a request to shoot pool by Fats, as Eddie and George C were chatting, FastEddie said " I'm shooting pool Fats. When I miss, then you can shoot!" And Edward G Robinson in the Cincinnati Kid, lighting up a victory cigar ( ala Red Auerbach) after beating Steve McQueen said " Sometimes it's all about making the wrong move at the right time" Sage Advice, indeed. So many people visit this forum but very seldom post. Please share your movie gambler and best line ( no need to be verbatim). Thanks in advance !! Buzz Paff |

Guy just wasn't acting right and says, "as you know it is a tough interest rate climate....." I knew even before the cards were turned over.
