Dude, it’s The Sting…
What’s not to love? It’s so great, the Leverage team had an homage to The Wire where they conned an Irish loan shark. Though it was in a basketball game and not the horses. If you’ve not seen it, do. It’s all jake.

“He’s Not As Tough As He Thinks”
Director George Roy Hill had a hit with Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid in 1969, and four years later he brought the movie’s two stars together again in The Sting. Paul Newman and Robert Redford had a natural chemistry that appealed to audiences, so the comedy adventure of western cowboy outlaws in the first decade of the 1900s was followed by the comedy adventure of eastern criminal grifters in the 1930s.The Sting was another huge hit, with Newman as the wise old con man Henry Gondorff, and Redford as the up-and-coming con man Johnny Hooker. All the way down the cast list you find accomplished actors, and the intricate screenplay needed just such pros to make it work. Robert Shaw portrays an Irish gangster, Doyle Lonnegan, a tough who tells one of his henchmen that he would even kill a childhood friend if necessary to preserve his hold on the mob.Gondorff and Hooker, the small-time grifters, are out for revenge against Lonnegan for killing one of their old con-man accomplices. Regarding Lonnegan, Johnny Hooker says “he’s not as tough as he thinks”, to which the more experienced Gondorff replies, “neither are we.” Gritty realism flows through the entire film, but the story is told with a light comedic touch. Of special note is the soundtrack music of Scott Joplin, now most famous for “The Entertainer” due to its use in The Sting. Joplin’s music was actually from a time even earlier than the setting of Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but its spirit does seem to fit the time of The Sting.When a film succeeds, or when it fails, much credit or blame is due the director. George Roy Hill took this complex story, delicately balanced between tragedy and farce, and made it work. At least four sub-plots are interwoven, and each is brought to a conclusion with no loose ends. The Sting is a greatly enjoyable film, and a tribute to Hill’s craftsmanship and that of his stellar cast.This one is so good that it is worth the upgrade to Blu-ray. There is a bit of controversy about the aspect ratio, whether 1.37 to 1 or 1.85 to 1. I am normally very sensitive to such things, but seeing both versions years apart, I noticed nothing amiss. For what it is worth, the Blu-ray picture quality in The Sting is way better than that in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

Classic and one great scene to this day
I spent my life from the 70s and never got interested in this one. About 2000 I finally bought it on DVD and it was surprisingly good. Funny and moves. Great plot. The awesome scene is on the train. Not going to spoil it but I’ll just say watch a cheater cheat a cheater. Robert Shaw’s look is priceless. The good bad or bad good guys win. No raunchy garbage. Not one swear word amount tough guys too.

Redford has a girlfriend in this one
Holy nostalgia, Batman! One of the best movies created in the 70s, even knowing the twist, ahead of time, does not ruin it. Newman and Redford together is a treat, personal, I prefer this title to Butch and Sundance. Music is well matched to the story and pacing. The style is a bit dated, don’t look for realism, our tastes have changed.

Wonderful Cast — Wonderful Story — Beautiful Blu-ray
It was really no surprise when “The Sting” won the Academy Award for best picture of 1973. A great story with a wonderful twist ending and an unbeatable cast: Charles During, Ray Walton, Eileen Brennan, Harold Gould and headed by Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Robert Shaw. Most of all we have a film that accurately reproduces the atmosphere of the times in which it is set — the Depression of the 1930s.This is certainly one of the great films to come out of Hollywood.Now we have this classic movie available in the Blu-ray format with great picture and sound. Being an audiophile of many years, I tend to notice the improvements in the audio first. Here, the title music has been remixed in stereo to provide a great improvement. The piano introduces the original Joplin theme and then the small orchestra comes in with great presence and power. The rhythmic nature of the music is notably enhanced by the power of the tuba, traditionally used in popular music of that time, although it is necessary to point out that ragtime music used exclusively in this film had long gone out of style by the 1930s. No matter — it works perfectly here. The film uses sound stage interiors and sets, and beautiful sets they are depicting the Chicago Loop and buildings true to the time of the film and beautifully reproduced in Blu-ray clarity. For the sake of the one or two people in the world who haven’t seen this movie, I won’t go into the finish.My favorite scene in this, and probably any other movie, is the conclusion of the poker game between Newman and Shaw on board the train to Chicago. Shaw has managed to sneak in a stacked deck ultimately dealing himself four nines and Newman four treys. He raises Newman’s bet by $10,000 and, a little hesitant and slightly frowning, Newman sees the raise. Smiling, Shaw lays down his nines certain that he has won. Newman pauses for a second or two and then lays down his hand smiling and saying, “Four Jacks. You own me $10,000, pal.” When I first saw this film in a theater, the audience was quiet for a few seconds until they realized what had happened. Then they began to howl with laughter. It’s still the best played scene I’ve ever seen in a film. The expression on Shaw’s face as he looks down at Newman’s cards is unforgettable.I doesn’t matter how many times I’ve bought this movie in various formats, the Blu-ray is worth it — I know I’ll be watching it again.
