      Great trivia! George was right - the limp adds to the character! Our last view of him is from behind as he limps away, more than a bit "grumpy". LOL! Every time I see these clips, I keep thinking that Lonnegan is a real person, caught in a scene with actors. And not just "actors" in the movie (as intended).

      @@vinniemoran7362 Your right,nobody is gonna be able to match the magic Redford and Newman had together.Even they only teamed up twice knowing another mega hit film was like lightning striking the same place thrice.And why remake films that are as good today as back then? I think many people who saw OUATIH noticed that Leo and Brad seemed to echo the same chemistry that Robert and Paul had together, so the connection was made and many wanted to see them pair up again .Any remakes would be Hollywood sacrilege so an original in the same vein as the two previous iconic flicks is what will hopefully happen .And I'm sure the studio is frantically looking for the right script.But surely the salary demands of both Actors will be in the hundred million range so I expect there will be a huge budget, which is good because there will be little left for CGI !!

      I'm six years older than you (if you can imagine such a thing), and between college and graduate school, I managed record stores. One of the places I attended graduate school was at NYU, and my classes met next door to the burned out shell of the old Fillmore East.
      I'm from the midwest, but I had a theater company in Los Angeles, and was home visiting my mom in Illinois one Christmas. She worked on her feet like a dog 'til she was 89, and while I was visiting her -- as I pulled up a chair for her to sit down one Sunday morning that December -- she collapsed in a heap from a massive stroke. Because I was actually there when it happened, I got her to the hospital so quickly, that there was no cognitive damage, and I gave up my theater company to move back to Illinois and become her full-time caregiver. I did that for the last seven years of her life.
      My parents were near contemporaries of yours. My dad was born in late December of 1912, and my mom was born in November 1914 and passed away in 2011.

    One of my favorite movies of all time. I'll bet I've seen it 50 times. Amazing cast and fantastic script. One of my favorite parts is the score, which was all Scott Joplin ragtime pieces produced by Marvin Hamlisch. I studied ragtime and dixieland piano from 1968-71 as I was playing piano in a dixieland band, and playing (very underage) in dive bars at the time. I can still play most of that score from memory. Great stuff!

I love The Sting it is one of my best and my favourite movies of all time.

It may have 'holes' in it, as others have commented on, but it is a thoroughly entertaining film that moves along and doesn't get bogged down. I look forward to watching it many more times before I fall off the twig.
