After the shocking murder of a friend they both cared about, wannabe con artist Johnny Hooker (Robert Redford) joins forces with seasoned pro Henry Gondorff (Paul Newman) to get back at the heartless crime lord, Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw), who’s behind it all. Together, they devise a complex plan so clever that Lonnegan won’t even realize he’s being played. But as their grand scheme starts to roll out, unexpected twists arise, pushing the fearless pair to think on their feet and adapt to the situation.

This movie is set in the 1930's, in the midst of the Great Depression. But the music which seems so perfect is actually ragtime (ragged time), from several decades earlier, at the turn-of-the-century. This movie introduced a whole new generation to Scott Joplin's music and hasn't gone out of style since.

This thing won 7 Academy Awards. You are the first person to acknowledge the father of James Earl Jones. I saw this in the theater when it came out in 1973. I won tickets when I was 14 to see the premiers for free. I did a wall mural and won 2nd place.

@PopcornReactions 9 часов назад

That's amazing! It sounds like you have some incredible memories tied to that film. Winning tickets at 14 and creating a mural is really impressive!

That was a fantastic watchalong with you, thanks for that. I don't think I've ever seen anyone second-guess the feds, but you, you outright called it as soon as they showed up(!), lol. Whenever I watch it, I always forget about that ticker-tape reader in the backroom calling it out over the speakers until they calmly cut to them telling him he can stop 😂

@PopcornReactions 6 дней назад

I'm glad you enjoyed the watchalong! It’s always fun to dive deep into these moments and analyze them together. The surprise elements really keep us on our toes!

@@chefskiss6179 That ticker tape reader was Ray Walston, of "My Favorite Martian" fame. This was a small part for him, but he stars in "Damned Yankees" which I highly recommend if you ever do a baseball series.

The 1930s were to the 1970s what the 1980s are to today: a stark reminder of how time makes fools of us all.

@richardzinns5676 5 дней назад

Around 1940, a book was published called "The Big Con", which described standard con games from that time; based on interviews with several real con men. With the exception of the little scene at the telegraph office, where the tricksters are forced to improvise a new idea on the spur of the moment, every single confidence trick shown in the whole movie is based directly on real confidence games described in that book.

@keithjohnson8866 3 дня назад

Paul Newman and Robert Redford made another movie together, also very good - Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

@francescareliford3941 6 дней назад

You should check out another movie with Robert Redford and Paul Newman-Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

@johnnehrich9601 6 дней назад

That movie preceded this one, and showed the excellent chemistry they had together. So when The Sting came out, people felt it would follow the same trajectory. (Don't want to give any spoilers to either movie.) You are the only person who I've seen guess the ending. (Caught me by total surprise when I first saw it.)

One of my favorite movies! It was actually the first “grown-up” movie I saw in the theater. I was seven, and my family went to the old movie palace in my hometown of Joliet, IL. When that date/place card came up saying “Joliet,” well, I had never heard a crowd just erupt like that!! It’s left me with a lifelong love of grifter stories, ragtime, and Robert Redford (I had a lifesized poster of him on my bedroom door in the late ‘70s).

@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344 5 дней назад

If you like grifter/Con stories, "The Rockford Files," usually had one a season. All were very well written. As a plus many of the actors in "The Sting," were in those Rockford con episodes.

@kathyastrom1315 5 дней назад

@@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344 Stephen J. Cannell, who created The Rockford Files, went on to become a novelist, including a book called King Con that I recommend!

It's not James Early Jones - it's his brother. The movie was a huge hit in the day and popularized rag time music, especially Scott Joplin.

Always a great moment when you watch "the Sting". If you do not feel dumber than you are even dumber after watching.

God bless you Popcorn. It's not called "The Sting" for nothing.

Butch and Sundance for the best Newman and Redford, and my favorite baseball movie, a fantasy called The Natural, with Redford.

@vincentsaia6545 6 дней назад

The races JJ was calling were real because he was reading them off the wire set-up.

@kathyastrom1315 5 дней назад

They had to have legit races in the con since results were published in the paper and could be double-checked by someone who might be suspicious.

@PopcornReactions 5 дней назад

Totally! JJ was on point with those calls, keeping it real with that wire setup!

@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344 5 дней назад

6:22 A great Robert Redford movie is "Three Days of the Condor." Not a con movie, but espionage movie. Very good.

@kdevinturner8778 2 дня назад

A beauty. Why it won many awards.

@shampoovta 2 дня назад

So why the merry-go-round? People use to reach for a brass ring while riding on them in the old days and I think it symbolizes the brass ring in this story and how you can fall off reaching for it.

@jackasswhiskyandpintobeans9344 5 дней назад

Popcorn Reactions, if you like the "Con," premise the TV show "Rockford Files," from the 70's had one "Con," episode a season. All very well written. My favorite is "Never Send a Boy King to do a Man's Job."

It was so much fun watching you figure this one out. It has always been one of my favorites. Keep going the way you're going and I'll be with you all the way. I think you understand what so many reactors don't get. Just so you know, nobody needs you to tell them what they are seeing on the screen at the same time you are. Nobody needs you to outguess the plot. But what everybody needs and enjoys is someone fun to be around, who wants to hang out, watch a movie, and have a good time. I was so excited that I sent you a spirit "High-Five" when you peeped the FBI con. This was my first from you and I WILL be taking a dive through your catalog of videos. I'm sure it will be fun. Thanks.
