@dino7090 most films then were better, the godfather, citizen kane, etc.
Paul Newman was one of the sexiest men ever born!!!!!
1970s best picture winners are all classics… well i guess Kramer vs Kramer. ya
That was my dad’s favourite movie..Just saw it yesterday and really loved it!!
Sexy Men
@dino7090 true man
@TheFlanker35 Because people make mistakes.
Why does Hooker blow all of his money from the first grift on one roll? Who takes their date to a sleazy casino? And why does stripper date ditch Hooker just because he looses his money?
my dad has this on laserdisc, but i haven’t seen it….yet
i love this movie, so clever
Still one of the best movies. Brilliant last scene!!!
oh yeah i would love to get you back in time to 1936 when this movie was set in a you would not last a day i would set you up for the big sting just like theses guys did and you would ls oes real big sucker!
utter rubbish this is one of the great con movies ever if and when you don’t belive it then you have just been stung that is the whole point and oh that ragtime music need i say more!
@timothy51886 thats awesome XD
Hey can you say me the soundtrack starting at 1:16 ?
Best Con movie Ever !
i never got time to watch this movie cos i don`t like films with sound like this but i didn`t even know Bobby Redford was in this!!
@13haydn14 Actually the Voice Over is referring to the previous movie with Newman and Redford, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid where they didn’t get away with it.
My grandfather direct this move
The only film that has you going until the very – VERY! – last second of the movie. Utterly brilliant.
1973 was a lousy year for Oscar except for Jack Lemmon. This overlong, only intermitently interesting film shows the bizarre Redford mugging for the camera that curiously was apparently so appealing to many back then. I for one am mystified by Redford’s ability to fool others into thinking he could act.
@TheNEWfilmfanatic99
This movie is Exhibit Gunk-o-schmell as the most impossible tale ever told. No one could have been bamboozled by this laugh-out-loud, mickey mouze, kindergarden set up. No words can describe how utterly nonsensical it is. It’s supposed to be telling a believable story but it turned out to be a low-grade comedy. It’s a shtoo-pee.
do you think robert redford looks abit like brad pitt on 0:39 ?
