Must Watch TV

Those of you who get Turner Classic Movies, there is a film on tonight at 7 Central that is a "Must See" for me each time it is on.

Hard to believe that this movie is already 32 years old, but "The Sting" still holds up as one of the best movies ever made. The acting is terrific. The plot is air tight. And, if you pay attention, they tip off every single surprise. Right down to the identity of Salino (listen to the footsteps in the scene where Hooker goes down the sewer).

I always get a little sad when this flick ends. I want to know what happens next to Hooker and Gondorf. This can't be their last story.

And, no. The god-awful Jackie Gleason-Mac Davis-Teri Garr follow up doesn't count.
