Some good bits, some bad bits, the singing is painful. After a long wait too.
I have been looking for this movie for decades! It works amazingly.

Put an end to the series but was ok
Bit rough but good seeing terry oquinn, and fairly tame compared to modern day fare
It is an old one but enjoyable
An excellent, crystal clear copy of this movie. I chose to download this and it was well worth the money. Thanks for the excellent service.
I can't thank David enough for my experience with rareandcollectibledvds. I had my money refunded straight away as the master file was corrupted. A couple of weeks later I received the DVDs that I had ordered. Many thanks David!

Classy bit of story telling
The Sting Small time conmen Johnny Hooker and Luther Coleman unwittingly scam a runner for Chicago main man Doyle Lonnegan. When Luther is murdered, Hooker goes on the run and seeks out Luther’s old friend Henry Gondorff to help him put together a major sting to take revenge on Lonnegan. However with so much heat on Hooker and the stakes so high can they pull it off and get away clean?
Almost a follow up to Butch and Sundance, this film partners the stars of the day Newman and Redford to good effect. The story is a little less fun but still very enjoyable to watch as it builds to a great finale. The use of chapters ran the risk of fragmenting the film into bits but instead it really helps set it out and makes it more manageable. Although it is not as light hearted and jovial as the theme music suggests it still manages to flow nicely with the slightly darker drama not spoiling anything but only serving to make it feel more grown up.
The cast are all very good and make the film easy to watch. Redford comes off the best in terms of characters and his role really suits both his carefree attitude (the start of the film) but also his more serious side (the rest of the film). Newman has a lesser role that perhaps doesn’t suit him quite as well, but he does have several really good scenes (the hustles) where he does very good work. Shaw’s accent is a little heavy at first but I got used to it and it worked for me and he was a really good foil for Redford/Newman. The support cast including Durning, Walston, Gould, Jones and others all do good work.
The direction and use of music is really good and the sense of period is well crafted and doesn’t just feel like it was painted on. I’m not sure if it deserved Best Picture or not because I don’t know what the rest of the field was for that year but it is a really enjoyable film that is quite fun to watch several times even 30 years later – and isn’t that the main thing?
