Awesome Movie - 7 Oscar Winner
It's one of those classic movies that most people don't know about, but they have heard of Paul Newman and Robert Redford. It's the same actors and director from "Butch Cassidy & the Sundance Kid." A trio of "grifters" steal about $10,000 or a days gambling take, from a big-time mob boss in Chicago. One grifter, Luther, is killed and the other two are marked to be "knocked off." (Hooker & The Erie Kid).
Paul Newman plays the experienced con man who takes the inexperienced grifter, Hooker, under his wing and runs a con, employing over 30 guys to part the ruthless boss man from several million of his dollars for killing Luther. Paul Newman recruits some of his old crew to start the con, whilst he trains Hooker to play 2nd man in the con.
Using the music of Marvin Hamlisch and the ragtime music of Scott Joplin and some well placed, artistic bumpers to divide the scenes, it is an entertaining, 30's-era, stylized, movie. Other well known actors in this movie are Robert Shaw, Harold Gould, Eileen Brennan, Dana Elcar & Ray Walston.
