This week on The Best Movies You’ve Never Seen podcast we’re watching The Sting – the 1973 film starring Paul Newman, Robert Redford and Robert Shaw, and directed by George Roy Hill.
The Sting tells the story of a con artist Johnny Hooker whose older partner Luther is murdered after unknowingly stealing from a crime boss. Hooker flees and seeks out the help of one of Luther’s former contacts, Henry Gondorf, to pull off the ultimate con and avenge his friend’s death and get back at the ruthless crime boss.
Stephen watched The Sting for the first time on TV as a youngster and has since rewatched it several times, the latest occasion on 4K disc.
Trevor, meanwhile, is watching The Sting for the very first time.
We go through the memorable scenes and share some interesting facts, behind the scenes tidbits, trivia, fact v fiction and other things you don’t know about the film.
