"The Sting" (1973) is an entertaining film that stars Paul Newman and Robert Redford. The movie received 10 Academy Award nominations and won seven Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Director, and Best Original Screenplay. Particularly memorable is the film's music.
The Legacy Series Edition DVD of "The Sting" is a two-disc set containing a digitally remastered version of the feature film with completely restored audio.
The only bonus material of any consequence on the DVD set is about 56 minutes of cast and crew interviews collectively titled "The Art of 'The Sting.'" This bears a copyright date of 2005.
The DVD permits "The Art of 'The Sting'" to be accessed as if it were three separate featurettes. The first is "The Perfect Script," in which the film's pre-production is discussed. The second is "Making a Masterpiece," where the same people talk about the filming. And in the third, "The Legacy," tribute is paid to director George Roy Hill (1921-2002).
