Babooshka, Babooshka, Babooshka-ya-ya!

Rating: 10/10 (26 May 2018)

The Color of Money is a classy film, with a great cast. It's not perfect, but it does deserve this rating.
The opening sequence is truly one of the best in cinema. Each character is at their very best here and Phil Collins's "One More Night" is playing. On the snap Vincent! Paul Newman's exceptional throughout and mostly carries the film beyond the opening sequence, but a lot of that's due to the restrictions on the other characters. The plot's quite weak, as it's a film about hustling and they never accomplish or even get into any hustling because Vincent always starts winning, except the one with the bar keep and that's just silly. The style, music, subject matter and acting talent is what makes it a quality film.
Eddie Felson: Money won is twice as sweet as money earned.
