Unseen photos from The Hustler.

the edit room floor:

Robert Rossen’s “The Hustler” is one of my all time favourite films, and I’m lucky enough to have a couple of original contact sheets in my collection (and a couple of shots even feature Rossen directing). The first sheet in my collection has some creases, and some grease pencil marks, but there are some fabulous photos that make those defects seem pretty trivial. It’s vintage Newman in his prime, and the camera loves him. These are from the second sheet, and besides Paul Newman, this sheet features co-stars Murray Hamilton, and George C. Scott. This second sheet reveals that the the basement billiards room seen in the film was in fact a set.

Michael Horton from the LACPUG has found the tapes from a 2006 interview with the film editor Dede Allen. Two hours of industry insight behind the editing of some big Hollywood films. The tapes got lost or misplaced and only resurfaced recently. The almost two hour interview has just been published. Unfortunately Dede passed away in 2010, but this interview is a great record of her experiences and knowledge from editing some of the great Hollywood films of the late twentieth century. Classics such as The Hustler, Bonnie & Clyde, Dog Day Afternoon and others make up a pretty impressive list of credits on IMDB. She was also nominated for an Academy Award three times for Best Editing. The four videos add up to just under two hours and slightly ironically, as Dede started off as a sound editor, the audio quality isn’t great. Nevertheless, a great and entertaining watch and some chat about Final Cut Pro too.
