The Hustler is based on the first novel (1959) by American author Walter Tevis (1928-1984).
Fast Eddie Felson returns in La Couleur de l'argent (1986) to teach the tricks of the trade to his talented protégé. In Revanche à Baltimore (1980), two hustlers try to set up a big game. The storyline is said to be thin, but viewers have reported some good pool-players as well as billiards champion Willie Mosconi announcing the final tournament of the movie. In Poolhall Junkies (2002), an ex-hustler is forced to play against a rival for high stakes-his life and the life of his brother. In Stickmen (2001), three friends who call themselves the Stickmen get entered into a high stakes pool tournament run by a vicious crime boss.
