Tuesdays in February, this year, belong to Robert Redford, and to start off its month-long tribute, TCM is wasting no time in bringing out the big guns. Three of Redford’s finest performances, and most entertaining movies, are shown in a row tonight, starting with his two famous teamings with Paul Newman. First up, out of chronological sequence, is 1973’s The Sting, a remarkably entertaining movie that, like the movie that follows, sucks me in every time it’s televised. The Sting won the Oscar for Best Picture, and deserved it. Great plot (script by David S. Ward), terrific music (by Scott Joplin, arranged by Marvin Hamlisch), wonderful direction (by George Roy Hill), and superb performances all across the board, including Robert Shaw as the villain, Ray Walston and Harold Gould as veteran con men, and Charles Durning as the quintessentially crooked 1930s Chicago cop.
