Product Description:
The winner of 7 Academy Awards including Best Picture, The Sting has become one of America's favorite and most critically acclaimed films. Robert Redford and Paul Newman star as two con men in the 1930's out to avenge the death of a friend. They seek revenge on a crime lord (Robert Shaw) with a "sting" that is one of the greatest double-crosses in movie history, complete with an amazing surprise finish. Directed by George Ray Hill and written by David S. Ward.

Amazon.com essential video:
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

Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - Widescreen v. full
Just to offer my two cents, now that both versions are on DVD:

Regardless of what aspect ratio it was originally shot in, the full-screen version is indeed pan & scan. I now have both. If you compare the two, you'll see the newer widescreen DVD is not missing any of the picture from the top or bottom. It is the full-screen that is indeed missing the sides.
I never saw it in the theater, so I can't say how it was originally projected.
Either way, it's one of the best films ... Read More


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Ultimate Con
This movie ranks up there as one of the best films ever made and stands up well over the years.

Robert Redford, Paul Newman and Robert Shaw (who I always think of being an underated actor and the performance here and in Jaws show how great he was) all bring A-List performances to the movie.

The cinematography and look of the film adds to the atmosphere and is brilliant, while "The Entertainer" by Joplin adds to the feel of the movie.

And of course there is the plot ... Read More


Rating: 1 out of 5 stars - Defective Product
I ordered a HD copy of The Sting on DVD. The DVD would not load on my HD player. I returned the defective DVD and was sent a second HD copy of The Sting on DVD. The second DVD also would not load on my HD player. I returned the second one for a refund. I think you were sent a batch of defective HD DVD's. I am still awaiting my refund of the original purchase price.


Rating: 5 out of 5 stars - The Sting
One of my all-time favorite movies (with the exception of Butch Cassidy and The Sundance Kid)!!! I wore out the VHS tape so now I purchased the DVD. Paul Newman was a great actor and The Sting is a great movie. An appropriate legacy.
