The Sting

Posted on October 17, 2008June 13, 2020 by Village Vidiot

  “The Sting,” October 17,  2008, (1973), DVD.   We wanted b to see this Paul Newman-Robert Redford classic con flick. We loved watching it again. Newman and Redford have amazing chemistry, Robert Shaw as the villain is fantastic, Charles Durning as a corrupt cop is really a pleasure. The film making is relatively primitive and the script is a bit stilted, but the plot is very good and the ‘tricks’ exciting. It was a bit complicated for our daughter who found it hard to follow the plot twists. She’s not used to being challenged by films and their deceptions. Her films are very straightforward.
