THE POOL ROOM

 

 

In a pool hall somewhere in the middle of nowhere, operated by a proprietor known only as Budda, Jazz and J.J. battle it out on the felt green.   Billie Holiday is on the jukebox and cash is on the line as the conversation turns to women and how they make it hard to be a man…a telling tale of what men really think.  THE POOL ROOM brims with hilarious anecdotes and exciting reminiscences of unforgettable love affairs and jaunts at favorite haunts.  The essence of the male-female relationship is explored in an extremely funny vein, from the raw perspective of the male experience.
