About this product

Product Information

Hoping that box-office lighting might strike twice, George Roy Hill again joined forces with Paul Newman and Robert Redford, who star as con men Henry Gondorff and Johnny Hooker in THE STING. In the Chicago of the 1930s, Johnny's partner, Luther (Robert Earl Jones), is fatally wounded by a victim of one of their scams who turns out to be powerful syndicate boss Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw). Eager for revenge, Johnny takes a tip from his dying partner and seeks out mutual friend Gondorff, a consummate master of the long con. Gondorff rouses himself from his alcoholic inertia and agrees to help Johnny take down the despicable Lonnegan, conscripting an army of grifters ready to avenge their friend's death. The labyrinthine plot, which is stuffed with false leads, red herrings, and a double-cross-a-minute, involves a fake bookie joint, a very persistent FBI agent, a bunch of corrupt cops, and one shifty dame. An extremely entertaining film, the Oscar-winning film transcends the genre through the superb acting of the three leads, the keen attention to the re-creation of period detail, and a fiendishly intricate script that cons audiences completely. The wonderful score, which became immensely popular, featured Marvin Hamlisch's orchestral transcriptions of Scott Joplin's piano rags; the film led to a revival of interest in the composer. The film is one of the most entertaining films of the 1970s and lives up to its hype on repeat viewings.

The most clever con of them all!
"The Sting" is a 1973 caper film set in September 1936 and revolving around a complicated plot by two professional grifters (Paul Newman and Robert Redford) to con a mob boss (Robert Shaw). The movie was directed by George Roy Hill, who also directed Newman and Redford in the classic "Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid". The title phrase refers to the moment when a con artist finishes the "play" and takes the mark's money. (Today the expression is mostly used in the context of law enforcement sting operations.) If the con game is successful, the mark does not realize he has been "taken" (cheated), at least not until the con men are long gone. The movie is divided into distinct sections with old-fashioned title cards with lettering and illustrations rendered in a style reminiscent of the ...

If the con game is successful, the mark does not realize he has been "taken" (cheated), at least not until the con men are long gone. The movie is divided into distinct sections with old-fashioned title cards with lettering and illustrations rendered in a style reminiscent of the Saturday Evening Post. The film is noted for its musical score - particularly its main theme melody, "The Entertainer", a piano rag by Scott Joplin, which was lightly adapted for the movie by Marvin Hamlisch. The film in turn encouraged a surge of popularity and critical acclaim for Joplin's work. The film was a major box office success in 1973, taking in more than $160 million. The film won seven Academy Awards, including Best Picture and Best Director. What makes this film so enjoyable is the solid on-screen chemistry between Newman and Redford, plus the brilliant supporting cast under George Roy Hill's direction. Together, they have a winning combination that helps to make the entire production such a pleasure to watch, time and time again. "The Sting" stands out as classic movie making.

The Sting
I have seen this movie over 20 times and never get tired of it,but I never had my own copy so when I saw it at a reasonable price I bought it. This movie is one of the five best movies ever made. Paul Newman has to be the best actor around and he still is turning out great movies I don't know what we'll do when he retires. The movie plot is one that is not made anymore, people have forgotten how to write great scripts. The character actors were fantastic every one of them. The person I bought it from was good enough to send a CD of the soundtrack. When have you heard music such as this connected to a movie?I have seen this movie over 20 times and never get tired of it,but I never had my own copy so when I saw it at a reasonable price I bought it.

Who writes these great movies. I am a collector of Paul Newman and Robert Redford movies. This movie is fast paced, so much fun and never disappoints. The music is incredible and so perfect for my two best actors. I only wish I could find other movies today to please in every aspect of what a movie should bring to the viewer.
