Customer Reviews of The Sting (Universal Legacy Series)
The Sting George Roy Hill's reprise with Newman and Redford (after "Butch Cassidy") once again comes up a winner. Vivid 1930s period detail and a sublime Scott Joplin ragtime score add flavor to a wildly entertaining, twisty yarn that plays out like a perfect sleight-of-hand trick. Even we the audience aren't in on the whole picture. Newman and Redford recapture the chemistry of their earlier outing, and Shaw makes an ideal villain/victim. Charles Durning also stands out as a sleazy, crooked cop. Grade A entertainment, suitable for older kids.
Legacy Series DVD better than I expected
I'd been waiting for a long time for a special edition of this remarkable film, and was disapointed when I read that it that it was the inauthentic "widescreen" version, and that it came with merely a small documentary, and neither commentary nor deleted scenes.

>The cutting off of small parts of the top and bottom of the frame are not dramatic, and having seen both versions of the film, I don't feel I've lost anything here.

>More importantly, the documentary is wonderful, including new interviews with Newman, Redford, David S. Ward, Ray Walston, Dimitra Arliss, Charles Durning, and a radiant and remarkably recovered from her stroke Eileen Brennan.

>And though I wish there had been commentary, the documentary makes it clear that the script was so tight, there was probably little additional material left to add.
