Goofs:
Audio/visual unsynchronized: In the scene where the banker is ordering props for the betting parlor, the prop salesman's sentence "If you want a counter and bar..." is obviously dubbed over. His mouth is completely off. moreQuotes:
Johnny Hooker: Luther said I could learn some things from you. I already know how to drink. moreSoundtrack:
PINE APPLE RAG moreFAQ
If Lonnegan was born in Five Points (NYC), why does he have a thick Irish brogue?What part did the Erie Kid play in the first con that earned him a share of the money?
They seemed to have an awful lot of overhead for a half million payout. Is it worth it?

I love this movie! I LOVE IT!! The first time I saw it I was about eight, or so, and I've probably seen it a hundred times since then and I still enjoy it as much! Infact I still discover new things and details in scenes that I haven't thought about before...
This movie has everything: Great script, great acting, style, fantastic camerawork, excitement, Robert Redford & Paul Newman, HUMOUR, great SOUNDTRACK, perfect lines - and above all - it presents the COOLEST ACTOR I've EVER seen on screen!
No, no... Redford & Newman in all honour, but the coolest actor is without competition ROBERT SHAW as Doyle Lonnegan. (Or was it Linneman? ;))
I've never seen a performance like that one by Robert Shaw... Probably the greatest supporting role performance ever made. So complete! So genius! So elegant! AND SO COOL!!
This movie is just - wow! - one of the kind. Don't miss it for the world. And I'll never forgive you if you miss Robert Shaw.
I'll con you if you do. ;)
My vote: 10/10
