The Sting (1973) Known Trivia
- Just prior to Elizabeth Taylor's presentation of the Best Picture Oscar for this film, the streaker Robert Opel darted across the stage as David Niven was introducing her. The Sting 1973 It was this incident (among others) that inspired singer Ray Stevens to write the song "The Streak" that went to the top of the US charts the month after the awards. The Sting 1973 Incidentally, Opel was found murdered in his San Francisco gallery in 1979. The Sting 1973 2 of 2 found this interesting Interesting? YesNo |
- Technical advisor John Scarne doubled for Paul Newman's hands in the film. The Sting 1973 It was he who did all of the card manipulations and deck switching in the film. The Sting 1973 It would have taken a long time for someone to be able to master all of the card routines shown. The Sting 1973 In the film, we see Scarne's hands disappear off screen; a clever invisible cut hides the switch; Newman's hands return, and the camera pans up to his face. The Sting 1973 1 of 1 found this interesting Interesting? YesNo |
- Writer David S. The Sting 1973 Ward taped a five-minute pitch of the project, but refused to reveal the ending until the producers read the entire script. The Sting 1973 1 of 1 found this interesting Interesting? YesNo |
- Robert Redford didn't see the movie until June 2004. The Sting 1973 1 of 1 found this interesting Interesting? YesNo |
- The gin that Paul Newman uses in the train scenes is Gordon's Gin, the same gin that Humphrey Bogart drinks on The African Queen. The Sting 1973 1 of 2 found this interesting Interesting? YesNo |
- Robert Shaw injured his knee and incorporated the resulting limp into his performance. The Sting 1973 According to "You'll Never Eat Lunch in This Town Again" by Julia Phillips, Shaw split all the ligaments in his knee after slipping on a wet handball court at the Beverly Hills Hotel a week before filming started. The Sting 1973 He had to wear a leg brace during production which was kept hidden under the wide 1930s style trousers he wore. The Sting 1973 Is this interesting? Interesting? YesNo |
- David S. The Sting 1973 Ward got the idea for this movie when he was working on the script for Steelyard Blues, which includes a pickpocketing scene. The Sting 1973 Researching this, Ward found himself reading about con artists. The Sting 1973 Ward had shown the other screenplay to Tony Bill, so he now gave him an outline of this story. The Sting 1973 Bill liked it immediately and brought in Julia Phillips and Michael Phillips; the three then produced both films. The Sting 1973 Ward wrote the script with Robert Redford in mind as Hooker, but Redford initially turned the part down. The Sting 1973 Even after changing his mind, he didn't expect the movie to be a hit. The Sting 1973 Robert Shaw got the part of Lonnegan only after Richard Boone and another actor had declined it. The Sting 1973 George Roy Hill saw the screenplay by accident and asked for the director's job. The Sting 1973 He routinely showed his projects to Paul Newman, and Newman was pleased to join this one. The Sting 1973 Hill wanted to film the picture on location, but Henry Bumstead was adamant that it would be much too hard to get the period appearance right; for example, things like lane markings on the streets. The Sting 1973 In the end, the only location shooting was a few days' worth in Chicago and Los Angeles; most of the exteriors were filmed on Universal's back lot. The Sting 1973 Is this interesting? Interesting? YesNo |
- According to costume designer Edith Head's biography, Robert Redford and Paul Newman, both of whom have blue eyes, wanted their shirts to be blue in order to emphasize their eyes. The Sting 1973 As a compromise, Head outfitted each man in blue in alternating scenes. The Sting 1973 Unfortunately, although it is an attractive story, it's a complete myth. The Sting 1973 A simple viewing of the film reveals the truth. The Sting 1973 Newman is never outfitted in blue in the whole film. The Sting 1973 He is first seen in a white vest in the brothel scenes. The Sting 1973 On the train he alternates between a brown striped shirt and a white one, which may or may not be a continuity error. The Sting 1973 From then until the end of the film, he is seen exclusively in a dinner jacket and white shirt. The Sting 1973 Redford wears a blue shirt on a couple of occasions, but even this doesn't really fit with this oddly persistent legend. The Sting 1973 Is this interesting? Interesting? YesNo |
- Robert Redford's character (Johnny Hooker) is supposedly named after blues legend John Lee Hooker. The Sting 1973 Is this interesting? Interesting? YesNo |
- The score of the film consists of Scott Joplin ragtime compositions, which were composed between 1900 and 1910. The Sting 1973 Although The Sting helped bring Joplin's ragtime back into American popular culture, they actually predate the period of the story by 25 years. The Sting 1973 Is this interesting? Interesting? YesNo |

The Sting (1973) Story: When a mutual friend is killed by a mob boss, two con men, one experienced and one young try to get even by pulling off the big con on the mob boss. The Sting 1973 The story unfolds with several twists and last minute alterations. The Sting 1973 Written byJohn Vogel <jlvogel@comcast.net>
{tab=Synopsis}The Sting (1973) Synopsis: It is 1932 and a money runner is carrying the week's take -- $11,000 -- from an illegal gambling outfit in Joliet, Illinois, to the main office. The Sting 1973 On the way, three men con him by replacing his money with tissue paper. The Sting 1973 Doyle Lonnegan (Robert Shaw), the mobster who was supposed to get the money, exacts revenge by having one of the con men, Luther Coleman (Robert Earl Jones), thrown to his death from a window. The Sting 1973 Lonnegan also orders a hit on Luther's partner, Johnny Hooker (Robert Redford). The Sting 1973 Hooker goes to Chicago to escape Lonnegan's wrath. The Sting 1973 In Chicago he meets Henry Gondorff (Paul Newman), an old friend of Luther's. The Sting 1973 To revenge Luther's death, they set up an elaborate plan -- a "long con" -- to swindle an enormous sum out of Lonnegan so neatly that he won't even realize he's been conned.
Posing as an obnoxious gambling boss from Chicago, Gondorff gets into a high-stakes poker game with Lonnegan, who is known to cheat. The Sting 1973 Gondorff cheats better and wins $15,000 from Lonnegan -- but Lonnegan can't pay it right away because his wallet is missing. The Sting 1973 (One of Gondorff's associates picked his pocket before the game.) Gondorff sends Hooker to Lonnegan's room to pick up the money. The Sting 1973 Hooker, playing Gondorff's resentful second-in-command, tells Lonnegan he has a great plan to con Gondorff, but he needs "someone respectable" to place the bets. The Sting 1973 Lonnegan, furious at being out-cheated, bites.
Gondorff and company do a lot of fast work to get ready for the final phase of the long con. The Sting 1973 First they assemble a mob and rent an empty basement, transforming it in a couple of days into a prosperous gambling parlor. The Sting 1973 An announcer in a back room describes horse races as if they were happening live -- but he's reading from a ticker tape, so the results are known in advance. The Sting 1973 They choose a race with odds they like -- maybe 3:1 or 4:1 -- and call in a tip (a particular horse or horses to win, place, or show) to the pay phone at the corner drugstore, where Lonnegan is waiting. The Sting 1973 Gondorff's gang has also rented a room with a view of the corner drugstore; when Lonnegan comes out on his way to the gambling den, a watcher rings a buzzer to warn them he's coming. The Sting 1973 They run through this once with a fairly small bet to show Lonnegan the system will work; the final plan they give Lonnegan calls for a bet so large it will ruin Gondorff. The Sting 1973 They run into trouble when Lonnegan demands to meet Hooker's imaginary accomplice. The Sting 1973 Hooker has told Lonnegan the key to the scam is his friend at Western Union who gives him race results by phone before they're released over the wire. The Sting 1973 Pretending to be painters, the gang tricks a genuine Western Union manager into vacating his office for an hour, and one of them poses as the manager. The Sting 1973 Lonnegan is convinced.
Meanwhile, Lonnegan's goons have tracked Hooker to Chicago but failed to kill him. The Sting 1973 (They -- and Lonnegan -- have no idea that the man Lonnegan is "helping" to con Gondorff is the same guy who helped Luther take the runner's money at the beginning of the movie.) Lonnegan assigns the job to someone called Solino, who, it's implied, is a very skilled assassin.
Lt. The Sting 1973 Snyder (Charles Durning), a Joliet cop, has pursued Hooker to the big city because Hooker gave Snyder counterfeit cash when Snyder tried to shake him down. The Sting 1973 Snyder isn't getting very far; when Hooker can't stay out of Snyder's way entirely, he can outrun him. The Sting 1973 Snyder is induced to assist FBI Agent Polk (Dana Elcar), who's after Gondorff. The Sting 1973 Snyder collars Hooker and brings him to Polk, who pressures him to give up Gondorff by threatening to lock up Luther's wife. The Sting 1973 Hooker, who was close to Luther's family, gives in, provided the FBI will let the Lonnegan con run its course before arresting Gondorff.
The night before the final act of the con, Hooker hooks up with Loretta (Dimitra Arliss), the new waitress at the diner where he likes to eat. The Sting 1973 When he wakes up, she's gone. The Sting 1973 He's somewhat puzzled to find that she hasn't robbed him. The Sting 1973 He dresses, fits something we don't get a good look at over his back teeth, and goes out. The Sting 1973 A man whom we've seen only glimpses of before now is stalking Hooker with a gun. The Sting 1973 As Hooker walks down a sunlit alley and spots Loretta coming toward him, smiling, the armed man emerges behind him and shoots -- hitting Loretta neatly in the middle of the forehead. The Sting 1973 She drops a handgun as she falls. The Sting 1973 Hooker, stunned, listens to the gunman's explanation that Loretta Solino is "a pro" -- a hired killer -- and she hadn't killed him the night before because witnesses had seen him entering her apartment. The Sting 1973 To Hooker's bewildered "Who are you?", the gunman replies "Gondorff asked me to look after you."
Lonnegan, with half a million dollars in a suitcase, receives his tip in the drugstore and goes to Gondorff's gambling parlor to place the bet. The Sting 1973 The betting clerk needs Gondorff's approval to accept such a large bet; there's some taunting and snarling between Gondorff and Lonnegan before Gondorff accepts it. The Sting 1973 Lonnegan sits down to listen to the race. The Sting 1973 He's joined by Kid Twist (Harold Gould), the faux Western Union manager who's been calling in Lonnegan's tips. The Sting 1973 When Lonnegan mentions that he bet on the tipped horse to win, Kid Twist, shocked, tells him the bet should have been to place, not to win. The Sting 1973 In a panic, Lonnegan tries to rescind the wager, but it's too late.
While Lonnegan is shouting, the FBI bursts in to arrest Gondorff. The Sting 1973 Having secured the mastermind, his prize, Polk tells Hooker he can go. The Sting 1973 Hooker throws a guilty look at Gondorff and starts to slink away, but Gondorff pulls a gun and shoots him in the back. The Sting 1973 Polk shoots Gondorff. The Sting 1973 Lonnegan, standing nearby, can see that Hooker is bleeding from the mouth; both men look quite dead. The Sting 1973 Lt. The Sting 1973 Snyder, whose job is to get Lonnegan away as quickly as possible, duly hustles him out, telling him he doesn't want to be mixed up with dead bodies.
Back in the gambling den, good cheer reigns. The Sting 1973 The dead have risen and are congratulating one another and their many accomplices -- including the erstwhile FBI agents -- for a job well done. The Sting 1973 The set is already being disassembled; Gondorff tells the mobsters where to pick up their share of the take and he and Hooker leave together.
