The Sting

£750.00

In stock

George Roy Hill’s The Sting was one of the biggest movies of 1974, garnering 7 Oscars, including Best Picture, Best Direction, and Best Costume Design, for Edith Head’s wonderful recreation of twenties US style.

Newman and Redford reprised a buddy act that had proved so popular in Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, as grifters coming together to get revenge on Robert Shaw.

It has lasted really well, with not only those performances, but also a genuine feelgood factor, and that brilliant Marvin Hamlisch score, based on Scott Joplin’s ragtime tunes.

This is an original Quad movie poster produced for the film’s first UK release, deploying the lovely Amsel artwork.
