The Sting (Universal Legacy Series)

Forget about the aspect ratio, focus on the film and it's plot...The story is superb, the acting is first class, the customs and the beautiful music is unique!!!! The HD version is great with no "snowy" images when is shot in the dark (like Blu-ray).. I love this movie. If you are a true movie lover without prejudices, you will love it!!

Unfortunately, once you've seen the "twist" ending, the movie loses some luster, but the performances are first rate, and it's still a wonderful film all these years later. Great trivia regarding the casting- Luthor is played by James Earl Jones father, who was also a solid actor!

The Sting DVD

Paul Newman and Robert Redford stars as two Depression-era Con Men out to rip off a big-time criminal (Robert Shaw) in this Best Picture Oscar Winner.

I love the music. Who ever wrote it should have won something.

Perhaps I have gotten jaded in my old age. I really loved this movie when I first saw it. I bought to have in my library of classic movies. Redford and Newman were great and the rest of the cats I liked. It was amusing and fun, but either because of a lot of movies like this one since then or the fact I had seen it several times, the ending was more blase' than I had remembered.

I just bought a DVD version of this film and was surprised how fresh it still feels. Without a doubt, this is the best con movie of all time.

Paul Newman and Robert Redford should have made more movies together. Their personalities seem to blend in a way that makes one plus one really add up to three. This is a clever story, with perfect pacing, and a great cast at the top of their game. Everyone should own this classic.

(My rating is for the movie. I bought the low cost DVD version and, at least my version, it had no special features and the definition was marginal. I'd give the DVD only three stars.)
