The Sting: supremely entertaining film to watch, shot and made with great class and elegance; every element fits right in, from the acting to art direction and costumes to the editing; music, in particular, deserves a special note. Also, it’s an interesting film that the experience of watching it for the first time is radically different (and equally engrossing) from additional views. To see all the story’s moving pieces fit so well is a marvel.
