Storyline
Did you know
- TriviaGeorge Roy Hill used some 1930s stylistic techniques. The film starts with a 1930s-era Universal logo, and used editing wipes to transition between scenes and iris shots.
- GoofsIn the bathroom, Hooker can be seen saying, "He didn't tell me you was a fuck-up either." This has been looped to replace it with the less profane "He didn't tell me you was a screw-up either." (The grammar error is scripted.)
- Quotes
Johnny Hooker: Can you get a mob together?
Henry Gondorff: After what happened to Luther, I don't think I can get more than two, three hundred guys.
- Crazy creditsThe opening animated logo for Universal Pictures is in 1930s style, matching the movie's setting, instead of the 1970s version.

Featured review
The caper movie uber alles
A magical plot, dead on art direction, brilliant supporting roles (most notably Robert Shaw, ya falla?), and the guiding hand of Redford/Newman chemistry make this one of the Hollywood's great films. "The Sting" is a hallmark of the "Golden Age" of American film, and has molded not only countless films, but numerous genres, few of which have met the challenge of its master.
