VERY cheaply made ... but it works
Good news, the disc works, and all the vital components seem to be there. Bad news, the packaging and everything else is shoddy and cheap. I’ve pulled better quality from the bargain bin at Walmart for less than $5, which makes these way overpriced.

This is Newman and Redford at their finest. In fact the whole cast was fantastic. The sets and costumes were straight out of the 30's. The ragtime soundtrack, although not period correct for a film set in the 1930's depression era Chicago, was nevertheless oddly appropriate in terms of setting the mood. The way the writer David S. Ward teases the audience with all the little twists and turns in the plot is a work of genius! If you haven't seen this movie, treat yourself to a fantastic piece of work in the art of film making and go watch it now!

4.0 out of 5 stars Essential movie, not quite perfect DVD set
Reviewed in the United States on September 17, 2005
Verified Purchase
At the time of its release in 1973, THE STING was considered the inferior of the two Newman/Redford buddy pictures (the other being BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID released in 1969), but that general consensus has reversed today.

THE STING is one of those movies that if you haven't seen yet, you should experience on your own without reading a single review. There is a reason why this movie won the Oscar for best screenplay and it would spoil the fun to have the plot synopsis in your head before you actually experience the film on your own.

So, what to review here? The DVD itself and the film has been lovely restored. The picture is quite sharp and the colors have never looked better as can be seen when compared to the theatrical trailer included in this set. As another reviewer noted, there is a slight frame jump just after the opening credits end, but that's about it. Having just the film on disc 1 shows the care with which Universal did the transfer, there are no compression tricks needed to put just a single 2hr 10 min movie on a dual-layer disc. Moreover the sound quality is excellent with even the gunfire showing the subtle dynamics of recoil and not the typical flat "bang" (again, compare with the trailer). The framing is 1.85:1, the same as in the release shown in theaters.

The "extras" on this set are a bit paltry and this is where it missed a 5-star review. The second disc contains a trailer (which unfortunately is from the re-release, where is the original?), some production notes, and a 1 hour "making of" feature. This feature includes interviews with Newman and Redford, as well as Eileen Brennan, Charles Durning, Dimitra Arliss (who plays the minor character Loretta), and Ray Walston (who died in 2001). The supporting actors recollections are just as, if not more, insightful than the leads. The writer, David Ward, and the music adapter, Marvin Hamlisch, also are included. Hamlisch doesn't offer much more than the usual comments about the ragtime music not being from the period of the film, but it is fascinating to hear that it was George Roy Hill's (the director) idea to go in this direction. Ward wanted the music to be bluesy!

While the recollections are nice, it's a shame that David Ward did not do an audio commentary to the film. His screenplay drives everything and so, despite not having George Roy Hill around for a commentary track (he died in 2002), it would have been fascinating to hear Ward's thoughts on every plot point. Some of these topics are raised in his interview but I would have liked even more.

As a two-disc set, this is a bit pricey, but with a fantastic transfer worth it. Just don't expect much from the second disc. Finally, if you enjoyed this picture, you might want to consider checking out HOUSE OF GAMES, which is also about conmen but with a far more brooding tone.

The Sting should win awards if it were released for the first time today. The writing is clever, the acting is uncomplicated and fun, the story has good and bad guys and undertones of the reality that sometimes it is hard to distinguish exactly who is good and who is bad. The film is entertaining viewing with a happy ending. The musical score is fantastic. The attention to detail is remarkable.

5.0 out of 5 stars A Classic...
Reviewed in the United States on June 21, 2013

The director is George Roy Hill, and the superstars are those 2 excellent old buddies Paul Newman and Robert Redford. This time, they play con men that methodically and with excellent resourcefulness fleece a rich mark (Robert Shaw). Their approaches are surprisingly complex (it would take every one of today's space to try to clarify them.) A lot of the enjoyable in the motion picture is checking out Hillside and his screenwriter, David S. Ward, keep the plot directly.

The flick is arrived Chicago of the 1930s, and several of the exterior situations were filmed to this site (featuring an efficient system chance at Union Terminal). We see a huge, confused, lusty, brawling city where the big guys with the muscle are in some way constantly getting rid of to the people with the self-confidence angles. Robert Shaw never ever determines which struck god. Shaw is a high-stakes gambler that initially acquires hooked throughout a casino poker game in between New york city and Chicago on the 20th Century Limited. Newman and Redford area god, mark god and begin to manipulate your man. He never ever determines they even understand each various other, and that's part of the charm: They have to play a great deal of scenarios for your man as full strangers, as Redford casually allows drop that he understands the location of the greatest cable area in Chicago.

The concept, Redford describes, is to enable Shaw to win big on a set equine race in order to ... however I had not been kidding when I pointed out the scheme is complexed. Paul Newman runs the cable area. Or must we claim it appears to be operated by Newman. Or, much more accurately, it seems a cable room, because the entire operation is merely a theatrical set, and everybody in the room is a star, and the "programs" from the track really are being composed by a reporter in the back space.

The film has a good, light-fingered design to it. Hillside delicately children the 1930s with his small overestimations of styles and designs. He informs his story episodically, damaging the motion picture down in to the numerous stage of the con game. And he's extremely proficient at preserving a type of off-balance pacing; we can never rather pin Newman and Redford down. They're constantly kind of angling into scenes, making enigmatic declarations under their breath and working from the very least a step ahead of us. Hillside's visual style is oblique; rather than posting his stars in the frame and tape-recording the activity, he appears to sneak up on it. Newman and Redford virtually appear on their way to yet another motion picture. If that seems like an objection, it's not suggested as one: The style listed here is so seductive and brilliant it's hard to locate. It resembles absolutely nothing else I have actually seen by Hillside, and at times, it nearly reminds me of Jacques Tati crossed with Robert Altman. It's good to obtain a criminal activity flick a lot more concerned with humor and personality compared to with blood and gore; listed here's one, as we claim, for the entire family members.

A terrific film, almost a sequel to 'Butch Cassidy ...' quite episodic too but that is of no concern when the sequences are as even and cinematic as these.
It is a beautiful transfer as well and I can view this picture over and over again-as I surely will.

Very much recommended, and from this seller.

Film entertainment doesn't come much better. Newman, Redford, Shaw and a stellar supporting cast keeps you thoroughly entertained for the duration. Haven't got a 4K-player yet (it's on the wish list) but the Blu-ray appears to look better than the previous releases and the extras; incl. a very fine book about the film is well worth considering getting this version of the release of "The Sting." Almost more important is; it is one of those films you can watch with the whole family without having to worry too much about people feeling uncomfortable due to excessive violence or sex scenes (not that I have any problems with those), and there ain't too many films around like that these days. Enjoy!
