THE HUSTLER was added to the Library of Congress National Film Registry in 1997.

Paul Newman lost the Best Actor Oscar to Maximilian Schell who won the Academy Award in 1961 for his role in "Judgment at Nuremberg."

Willie Mosconi served as the technical advisor for the film; Marguerite James was the script supervisor; Muky did the still photography; and optical effects were done by Film Opticals.

Shot in CinemaScope.

In his 1995 memoir, "My American Journey," General Colin Powell lists "The Hustler" as one of his favorite films.
