The Sting. The Movie

I watched this movie earlier today on Astro. I can't remember watching this 30 over years ago. I guess maybe I did not!

This one came out in 1973. A classic now.

Robert Redford and Paul Newman. What can go wrong? This one was after the other classic Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid.

I guess it is just me. I just can't seem to get it. The Oscar winning film did not move me in any way. Despite its reputation, it is not gripping, keeping you at the edge of your seat in anticipation or anything.

Otherwise, you know this is a story of one conman being wronged with his friend/partner getting killed and he teamed up with another hero to stage a big time sting operation to get back. A big con, so it seems.

Really good looking guys, this two. Robert Redford and Paul Newman. Should it be if in my dreams I can choose to look like either one of them, I'll take Paul. Incidentally the women in this movie were pretty plain and dowdy looking. I guess to not take away the two gentlemen's attractive looks.

What prompted me to watch, naturally was the reputation of this classic movie. I watched James Dean's East of Eden a couple of months back and that too did not appear magical.

Did you remember this other movie done 20 years later starring Robert Redford and Demi Moore. Demi Moore was so beautiful in this movie. Indecent Proposal.

Here billionaire Robert's character offered husband and wife, Demi's character USD1 million for a night with the wife.

I guess today Ashton Kutcher sees Demi as I saw her in 1993.
