surprisingly good TV movie, 17 March 2005
7/10
Author: troy-32 from Chicago, Illinois

I started watching "Hustling" at about 3:30 in the morning when I couldn't get to sleep. And by the time 5:00 rolled around, I was wide awake. I have no idea how authentic the milieu depicted here is, but I found the movie riveting in parts. It was made for television, after all, and it was the 70's. And at the same time, I found the approach somewhat less sensationalized and a whole lot less politically correct than something that might get made today on a similar theme. It did not seem glamorous at all to me, and I loved the way the girls were so blatant about their product. Jill Clayburgh, who I never have warmed up to in the past, was very good here. Though her character was supposed to have been from Cleveland, yet her NYC accent seemed pretty undisturbed to me. And I always love Lee Remick. She's so damned pretty. An angel, really. Otherwise, this is typical material for 1970's television. But even in its youth and optimism, the stuff from that period is so much more laudable than TV programming today, which is base-level shrill.
