The Color of Money (1986)

 Sequel to 'The Hustler'. It's 25 years later and Paul Newman's "hustler" is retired from the game, he's in the liquor buisness now. Spots Tom Cruise at a pool hall; see's real talent; takes him under his wing; wants to fashion him into something. Newman experiences another crises of confidence, then gains back his confidence and ends up playing against Cruise in a tournament in Atlantic City. I enjoyed this more then 'The Hustler'. Marty Scorsese directs. Mary Elizabeth Mastrantonio at her most attractive. ***
