By the way, you all know the other Newman & Redford movie directed by George Roy Hill, this time with screenplay by David S. Ward. It was obviously based on The Hobbit by JRRT - an elaborate con game designed to look like a treasure-seeking, dragon-slaying adventure but with the purpose of wresting the Ring from Gollum.

I'm talking about The Sting, of course! [img]smilies/biggrin.gif[/img]
