Title: Great movie set during the time Ragtime was king
Review: This is a fantastic movie. It is about two con-men (Robert Redford and Paul Newman) who set out to avenge the death of a friend by a ruthless mobster. They set up a bogus horse race gambling facility and con this mobster in betting on bogus horse races. I have one problem, with all of the people in on this scam, I don't think their take was very high. Unless, they recieved a percentage based on their involvement.This was a great movie that really captured early 20th century America. A big part of this movie was The Music of Scott Joplin. The sting revitlized his music. People think that "The Entertainer" was Scott Joplin's biggest hit. In reality his biggest hit was "Maple Leaf Rag". In Scott Joplin's time ragtime was considered "The Devil's music". The Sting gave Scott Joplin ,and his music, the dignity and respect it richly deserves.
