This Depression-era caper film is an extremely entertaining film from start to finish. Many films have tried to copy it, but none have succeeded (including the ridiculous sequel).
Paul Newman and Robert Redford team up for the second time, along with director George Roy Hill as well from their previous work on Butch Cassiday & the Sundance Kid. It's fun to watch them in this one, because their roles are reversed compared to their characters in Butch Cassidy. The Sting is one of my top favorite films, and the title cards and Scott Joplin ragtime soundtrack really adds to the look and feel of the 1930's.
