Cinema Cemetery: Episode 46- The Sting (1973)


Listen Later

“What was I supposed to do - call him for cheating better than me, in front of the others?”  Welcome to the Big Con; a world of high stakes, pigeon drops, Lucky Dans, and stacked decks. Robert Redford, as a young Johnny Hooker, seeks help from established grifter Henry Gondorff to help him pull off a Big Con on Doyle Lonnegan after his partner is killed by Lonnegan’s cartel.  As Gondorff and Hooker seek to pull the Sting on Lonnegan, both the FBI and Lonnegan’s own agents seek the grifter for their own purposes.  A whirlwind of switch, cheats, and backstabs leaves the audience guessed until the final bell.  Who will be left standing after the final horse has run?  Find out on this week’s episode!
