I didn’t figure out that the audience had been conned until Hooker and Shaw were both shot in the final scene. I remember saying to myself, “hey, wait a minute, here”. Great movie, one of my all time favorites. It had it all: the story, Newman and Redford, the great Scott Joplin music, the 1930’s clothing (kudos to Edith Head) and, of course, my favorite scene in the movie when Shaw out cheats Doyle Lonigan in the card game on the train. I never get tired of watching The Sting - a sterling example of a well made movie.

[@kevinconnor6035]

This is not true. There are still brilliant writers, directors, and actors. The problem is that the public does not demand those movies. If Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri made $300 million, there would be a hundred more films like it. But studios don't want to spend a lot of money making movies that nobody wants to see. So we get nonstop superhero and disaster movies. People always blame the symptom: the radio, the media, the movies. But the disease is the consumer's demand for low-quality content. If we gave our money and attention to great art and great media, then we'd get a lot more of it. But when horrible sequels make ten times as much money as really inventive and skilled dramas, what do you expect to happen?

[@RealFudd]

@@kevinconnor6035It is sad but I have to agree with you, Hollywood is a business and business chases the dollars and it seems that we are stuck with what we are getting now.

Maybe one day they will fool us and sneak one in again but as you said, not enough people will pay to see it and down the toilet it goes and back to super heroes. The thing about the Sting is that I remember showing it to the crew when we were out at sea back in my younger days in the Navy in the 70's.

[@kevinconnor6035]

@@RealFudd You were very lucky to be around to see it with your guys back then! Although it's true that the new movies and music these days are pretty bad, I still feel grateful because we have more access to all the great stuff from the past than ever before. You can type in any song you can think of -- from the 50s, 60s, 70s, and earlier -- into KZbin and be listening in a moment. That's incredible. Same with movies. I watched this old clip. I loved it, and remembered this movie. I rented it on Amazon five minutes later, and now I'm watching it as I type this to you. So I like to hope that the ease of access will encourage the younger generations to explore some of these great works. I bet you never imagined when you were out at sea in the 70s that you could one day listen to Zeppelin or Simon & Garfunkel anywhere, or watch Butch & Sundance any time, with just the push of a few buttons. So I like to focus more on all the great stuff that's available now, instead of all the bad stuff that's new now. The new stuff is as bad as it's ever been, but we have access to more great stuff than we've ever had. I am glad this brought back fond memories of your Navy days.

So the mark gives him his own wallet as well as an envelope containing (unknown at the time to the con men) a lot of money that (as we later find out) belongs to mobster Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw). Hooker then shows the mark how to hide the bundle inside his pants, and when he gives it back it's not the same bundle; it's just a bunch of paper in an identical-looking handkerchief.

Having seen Better Call Saul, I think this scene was replicated in the series or better still the movie also played a role.

If you want to see an old guy surprise people with his piano playing (in an airport) of this movie's theme melody type "senior citizen plays piano" (but without quotes) in the KZbin search bar, and skip to time 1m 45s of the resulting video.

In The Sting II, Fargo Gondorf and Jake Hooker try the same trick on a countess, who turns out to be a con as well and it backfires on them.

Real m0ney is used to go to school to get further training and go to seminars to refine your skills and to network with people. Nobody puts money in their mouth. Nobody walks out with free cash. All funding must be used to produce skills, training, buy books, go to classes, and make partners so you don’t have to work.
