Winner of seven Academy Awards including Best Picture, Director, and Screenplay, this critical and box-office hit from 1973 provided a perfect reunion for director George Roy Hill and stars Paul Newman and Robert Redford, who previously delighted audiences with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid. Set in 1936, the movie's about a pair of Chicago con artists (Newman and Redford) who find themselves in a high-stakes game against the master of all cheating mobsters (Robert Shaw) when they set out to avenge the murder of a mutual friend and partner. Using a bogus bookie joint as a front for their con of all cons, the two feel the heat from the Chicago Mob on one side and encroaching police on the other. But in a plot that contains more twists than a treacherous mountain road, the ultimate scam is pulled off with consummate style and panache. It's an added bonus that Newman and Redford were box-office kings at the top of their game, and while Shaw broods intensely as the Runyonesque villain, The Sting is further blessed by a host of great supporting players including Dana Elcar, Eileen Brennan, Ray Walston, Charles Durning, and Harold Gould. Thanks to the flavorful music score by Marvin Hamlisch, this was also the movie that sparked a nationwide revival of Scott Joplin's ragtime jazz, which is featured prominently on the soundtrack. One of the most entertaining movies of the early 1970s, The Sting is a welcome throwback to Hollywood's golden age of the '30s that hasn't lost any of its popular charm. --Jeff Shannon

REVIEW: This sparkling comedy/crime caper not only cemented George Roy Hill's reputation as a first-class director: but also proved to be THE perfect showcase for the acting team of Paul Newman and Robert Redford. "THE STING" is a classic re-creation of the Depression-era 30's complete with mobsters, grifters, cops, feds, and small-time confidence men. Newman and Redford play two such con-men looking to outsmart a big-headed crime boss/banker named Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw) who is responsible ... Read More

The Bottom Line:
Always entertaining, The Sting is a lighthearted caper movie that features a nice give-and-take between its two leads, a plot that (mostly) holds up, a great poker scene and a lot of twists and turns--what more could one ask from such a film?

"You're right...[The con game] is not enough. But it's close!"
The above is what one of the con artists (or CONfidence game artists) says at the end of this fantastically entertaining movie.
This is a caper film set in late 1936. It revolves around a complicated but interesting plot by two professional con artists (played by Paul Newman and Robert Redford) to swindle a mob boss (played by Robert Shaw). The actual genesis of the idea behind this movie's ... Read More

I'm not sure what other people are saying about the widescreen format. however, there is no need for this material to be on two discs. disc two just has a documentary and some other stuff. there's not really enough bonus features. also, there's no feature commentary. boo!
