AI notes: The Color of Money (1986), directed by Martin Scorsese, is a sequel to The Hustler and stars Paul Newman as "Fast" Eddie Felson, a former pool hustler who mentors a talented but cocky young player, Vincent Lauria (Tom Cruise). As they travel from pool hall to tournament, Eddie teaches Vincent the art of the hustle, but their relationship becomes strained by pride, manipulation, and ambition. The film explores themes of redemption, competition, and personal growth, and earned Newman an Academy Award for Best Actor for his reprisal of the iconic role.
I suspect this to be an extremely rare item because their was really no reason to save it at the time.
The Village Voice was an American counterculture newspaper known for being the country's first alternative newsweekly. It introduced free-form, high-spirited, and passionate journalism into the public discourse - a tradition it maintained throughout its 60+ year history. It is quite common to find great political cartoons, satirical cartoons and articles, thought-provoking editorials, and ads and reviews for both concerts and theater productions - both on and off Broadway. Many iconic writers and musicians credit their appearance in The Village Voice for at least a portion of their success.
Complete in 140 pages, one fold across the center, nice condition.
