CL Critic Curt Holman Recommends: Paul Newman and Robert Redford play two likable grifters who target Robert Shaw’s vicious mob boss. A huge hit in 1973 that won seven Oscars, including Best Picture and Best Director for George Roy Hill, its most lasting legacy may be popularizing the kind of “con man” film that tricks the audience as well as the characters. — CH

From the venue:

4K Digital Restoration! Winner of 7 Academy Awards, including Best Picture, THE STING stars Paul Newman and Robert Redford as two con men in 1930s Chicago. After a friend is killed by the mob, they try to get even by attempting to pull off the ultimate ‘sting.’ No one is to be trusted as the twists unfold, leading up to one of the greatest double-crosses in movie history. The con is on! Directed by George Roy Hill (BUTCH CASSIDY AND THE SUNDANCE KID), the film co-stars Robert Shaw, Charles Durning, Harold Gould, Eileen Brennan and Ray Walston.
