The Sting (1973)

Date Watched: 25th November 2017

Referenced in: 2x19 and 5x10

Rating:  ★★★★★ 

I really enjoyed this film. I love Redford and Newman and they were great in this. The story line was strong and unpredictable - though I still don’t understand the point of the Loretta character and who she was affiliated with or anything. But other than that, easy watch, great music and all round good film.

5x10, But Not as Cute as Pushkin (2004) Richard and Rory touching the side of their noses after messing with Logan is a reference to the Paul Newman/Robert Redford movie, where the con-man duo and their team use it to acknowledge when their part of the scheme is completed.
