TCM Comments on The Sting (1973)

[@jillkjv3816]

I'm old enough to remember seeing The Sting in the theater when it premiered. You haven't really seen it until you've seen it on the big screen. Impressive.

Robert Opel was the streaker. He was murdered in 1979. He never worked for Dateline as far as I can see.

Its hard to Ben made that kind of blunder. At least in so far as the time I watched him. At any rate, Dateline started in 1992. Must have been in a time machine for the future and came back😁

Its hard to believe.

I think the dateline joke might have been referring to a special they might have done on him

I didn't get the joke about that streaker later becoming a correspondent for "Dateline NBC." As another person here correctly noted, Robert Opel was the streaker, and was murdered in 1979. He couldn't have worked for "Dateline NBC," as that program didn't start until 1992, well after his death. However, Ben Mankiewicz's older brother Josh is a journalist, who has been reporting for "Dateline NBC" since 1995. Not sure I get the connection, much less the joke. Now, I've always liked Ben Mankiewicz's sense of humor, but this one went right over my head.
