In this scene, Paul Newman's character Henry Gordoff joins a poker game posing as a callous Chicago bookmaker, in order to out-cheat Lonnegan and eventually set him up for a big con.

[@photo161]

I remember at the time the director of this film saying that Newman's acting in the card scene was the best film acting he had ever seen...seeing it now for the first time after all these years it looks as if that praise was well deserved.

[@leoderosia9279]

It really was a incredibly entertaining scene by Newman and maybe his most memorable

[@paulmorphy6187]

Everything about this scene is superb...the background noises of the train bells...the sidekicks expression and facial features...and of course excellent acting from newman and shaw...and the sting at the end!

Robert Shaw a colossus of an actor. Left us too early

[@michaelallen-od3rb]

@CJ Dillon agreed!i watched a documentary on JAWS,Dreyfus and Shaw had constant creative differences and didnt get along on set well.Years later he could not hold back tears when he met Shaw's grand daughter on a late show.i believe he looked back and had pure respect for Shaw's stubbornness and vision

The Sting and Jaws are in my Top 20 movies (Where eagles Dare, Gladiator, Little Big Man, The Outlaw Josey Wales, Good the bad and the Ugly, The Duel, Bridge Too Far, Hunt for Red Oktober. ) Wag the Dog, Dances with wolves, Zulu, Hero, Godfather, Ronin, The Martian, Shawshank Redemption, Tombstone, Bourne Identity.

The Sting is one of the best movies ever made. First-rate script, solidly developed plot, sustained dramatic scenes, memorable characters acted flawlessly from entire ensemble. Newman, Redford, and Shaw were at the top of their game. The poker game on the train is one of the all-time classic scenes from any movie ever made. The way Newman dupes and out-foxes Shaw by adopting a gauche persona during card game is brilliantly executed. The question is how was Newman able to sneak in his 4 Jacks to beat Shaw's 4 Nines?

The Sting was extremely popular back in the day. Everyone went to see it. It was the second movie after The Godfather to make $100 mil at the box office . This was back in 1973 when tickets were way cheaper.

[@wlhardy]

I saw this fantastic movie when it was released in 1974, my husband saw it in 1977 & I asked if he could figure out how Newman cheated because I didn't notice anything--even though it was obvious w/Robert Shaw. Hubby said it was probably when it was when Newman was reaching for a cigar (at 3:24). I haven't noticed anything to show me otherwise, so that's been my theory all these years.

He says it wrong a couple times when he first walks in and when Lonnegan corrects him, he responds by nodding and letting out a loud belch.....hahahaha I love the way he keeps peeking over his shoulder in the final hand, and then that GREAT look that he has on his face when he lays down the 4 Jacks.

Nx Doyle - So true. One needs only look at the nominees and winners over the years of all of the Academy Awards to get an idea of how warped the Academy actually is in whatever criteria it uses to judge. You can tell by the winning selections from the nominee INCLUSIONS, not to mentions the EXCLUSIONS. 1967 Best Actor is a perfect example. Newman could have won for Cool Hand Luke that year, which was an absolute masterpiece. But if they chose any three of the other four nominees, it would have been hard to argue against them, but they chose the least deserving of the five.

@@BenjaminGessel That's easy: he had a set of spare cards hidden in a pocket or fold in his clothes, and swapped them while pretending to do something innocuous. You should be able to spot it if you watch again.

"Fair well and ado to you fair Spanish ladies...." R I P Robert Shaw...only 51 when he died of a heart attack on the side of a road in Ireland.

Sad but great info bud 👍

bigtex macgonigle yeah I got his obituary cut out from the paper.

Shaw was awesome as a Bond villian, in From Russia with Love. That fight scene he has with Connery, on the train, is classic.

One of my favorite movies of all time. Still can hear the music.
