\nGleason famously played Minnesota Fats in The Hustler<\/em>, and his character played a big part in the book version of The Color of Money<\/em>. “We desperately wanted the character to return,”Newman told The New York Times<\/em>, ”but every time we put him in, it seemed like we were trying to glue an arm on a man and make it stick.” Added Scorsese: ”We finally presented a script to Gleason with Fats in. But he felt it was an afterthought.” As such, Gleason passed.<\/p>\n
\nIn a rare moment of downtime, “I read a review of [Nicholas Pileggi’s] Wiseguy<\/em> when I was directing The Color of Money,<\/em> and it said something about this character Henry Hill having access to many different levels of organized crime because he was somewhat of an outsider,”Scorsese told Rolling Stone<\/em>. “He looked a little nicer. He was able to be a better frontman and speak a little better. I thought that was interesting, because you could get a cross section of the layers of organized crime\u2014from his point of view, of course. So I got the book, started reading it and was fascinated by the narrative ability of it.”<\/p>\n
\n<\/span><\/strong>Robbie Robertson put the soundtrack together, which is best known for featuring Eric Clapton and Robertson\u2019s \u201cIt\u2019s in the Way That You Use It\u201d and Warren Zevon\u2019s \u201cWerewolves of London.\u201d Geffen would not allow Robertson permission to use his own voice at any point on the album, because he felt that the singer\u2019s first solo record was being delayed on account of his work on the soundtrack. The Band performer still managed to get music from the likes of Clapton, Don Henley, B.B. King, Robert Palmer, and Willie Dixon.<\/p><\/blockquote>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
