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 !!

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.

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.

It's interesting that "The Sting" came out just as the espionage caper series "Mission: Impossible" ended its seven season (1966-1973) run on CBS. "M:I" frequently used con game tactics to obtain information/confessions, recover stolen items, or to set the mark up to be executed by their own cohorts.

Always Loved Robert Shaw as Well. I remember watching this in the Movies when it 1st came out! I was watching TCM one night when they were highlighting The Sting. I remember Ben Manchewitz mentioning that Robert Shaw enjoyed working with Newman and what a Professional he was. He didn’t have the same praise for Redford. He said he more than once held up shooting by showing up late. He said that Redford thought he was too big a Star and was too Snobby and Cocky!!

I love the everything about The Sting 1973 from 1930s setting to the music, costumes, the action, the writing, the acting and the directing and I love the cast too and I love Paul Newman and he is excellent as Henry "Shaw" Gondroff and I love Robert Redford and he is excellent as Johnny "Kelly" Hooker and the chemistry between Newman and Redford is off the charts and so good and interesting and I love Robert Shaw and he is excellent as Doyle Lonnegan and The Sting also has a very, talented and interesting group of supporting actors and actresses and The Sting was highly successful at the 46th Academy Awards in 1974 and it was nominated for 10 Oscars and The Sting was released on Christmas Day in 1973 and it won 7 Oscars including Best Picture, Best Director George Roy Hill, Best Film Editing and Best Writing (Original Screenplay) David S Ward and Redford was also nominated for Best Actor and The Sting also rekindled Newman's career after a series of big screen flops and the screenplay of The Sting is regarded one of the best ever written and The Sting was a massive critical and commercial success and The Sting 1973 was selected for preservation in the U.S. National Film Registry of the Library of Congress as being "culturally, historically, or aesthetically significant". I love The Sting it is one of my best and my favourite movies of all time.

The Sting is my favorite movie of all time ever since I first saw it in 1973 (my next is The Great Escape). I have watched it many times since then and it remains my favorite. 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.

My grandad was Paul Newman’s chauffeur for 3 weeks here in Ireland in the late 70s. He would sit up front with my grandad and talk about anything. He never sat in the back. Funny enough Sofia Loren wouldn’t sit in the back. I remember my grandad jokingly saying that Sophia was only woman he would have left my grandmother for

I realized at once that Gondorff and Hooker just pretended to die. There are neither blood nor bullet-holes in the back oh Hooker's jacket. The blood from Gondorff's wound does not spread. Lonnegan should have noticed too, but he was only interested in his money. I apologize for my shaky English
