HUSTLER
Also known as The Day the Lord Got
Busted, this Burt Topper directed
exploiter stars pop star Fabian as a guy
named Matthew, a washed up junkie musician
who is transformed into a religious crusading
folk singer by a slimy evangelist/promoter
named Reverend Calder. Matthew rises to
international fame, turning millions of
young kids onto his message and making
Calder millions of dollars in the process.
But Mathew’s own personal demons
begin to eat away at his fabricated crusader
shell, eventually resulting in a tragic
fall from grace. Playing out like a religious
A Face in the Crowd, Soul Hustler
is a solid film featuring a good performance
by Fabian in the lead. A rare character
study on the art of manipulation.
