The character "Vincent Lauria," played by Tom Cruise in the 1986 film "The Color of Money" does not actually appear in the book from which the film was VERY loosely adapted: The Color of Money (1984 novel). The book was first published by Warner Books. Vincent Lauria is apparently a creation purely of screenwriter Richard Price and the film.
