The Color of Money is a 1986 film based on a 1984 novel of the same name by American writer Walter Tevis. The film continues the story of pool hustler and stakehorse Edward "Fast Eddie" Felson from Tevis' first novel, The Hustler (1959), with Paul Newman reprising his role from its film adaptation (1961). The Color of Money is a continuation of Felson's story at a point more than 20 years after the events depicted in The Hustler, and with Eddie not having been active on the pool circuit during that time. Although Tevis did author a screenplay for The Color of Money, the film-makers decided not to use Tevis's story; instead crafting a new one.
