The Sting
1973. Directed by George Roy Hill. Written by David S. Ward. Starring Robert Redford, Paul Newman, Robert Shaw, Charles Durning, Ray Walston, and Robert Earl Jones.
Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a film that has greatly grown on me; one I really treasure now that I simply liked before. I decided to see if my appreciation of Newman and Redford’s pairing in The Sting would also grow on repeated viewings. It didn’t. I liked it, to be sure. The details are terrific and the film never fails to be interesting, but I never fell in love. Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is a film I could watch over and over and just keep smiling. I have likely seen The Sting all I need to.
My grade: B
