The gritty 1961 American drama The Hustler, set among the sleazy pool halls of New York City, will be shown in digital format. Paul Newman brilliantly portrays an ambitious young pool hustler who learns to cope with both losing and winning, in the process being forced to accept the reality of his situation and his responsibility to others. Piper Laurie co-stars as his vulnerable girlfriend and there is a great performance by George C. Scott as his unscrupulous manager and a memorable
cameo by Jackie Gleason as the legendary pool champion, Minnesota Fats.
Filmed in six weeks, entirely in New York City, it is a challenging film shot in realistic style in black and white. It was an Oscar winner for best cinematography and art direction and received seven other Oscar nominations.
First time guests and prospective members of the Society will be welcomed free of charge. For further information contact the secretary, Jill Dwyer, on 5797 2480 or jill.dwyer@bigpond.com.

Wildlife officers from the Department of Sustainability and Environment (DSE) are investigating reports that a number of Wedge-tailed Eagles (Aquila audax) have been shot and killed recently in the Yea area.
Senior DSE Wildlife Officer, Gary Dash, said DSE has received a number of calls from concerned residents who have heard about the alleged shootings.
“It concerns us greatly that it appears that a number of Eagles have been shot and killed illegally in recent weeks,” Mr Dash said.
“DSE is taking this matter extremely seriously and is seeking the assistance of the local community to provide us with additional information.”
Wedge-tailed Eagles are Australia’s largest bird of prey and are protected under the Wildlife Act 1975. They can grow to 100cm in height and have a wing-span of 2.5m.
Eagles eat predominately live prey, including rabbits and hares. Other food sources include lizards, birds and mammals.
Residents who have information about the alleged shootings are urged to contact the DSE Customer Service Centre on 136 186. They can choose to remain anonymous if they wish.
In Victoria all wildlife is protected. Anyone caught trapping, injuring, killing or harming wildlife can be fined up to $29,300 and or 24 months imprisonment under the Wildlife Act 1975 or $60,000 under the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals Act.
