THE STING, directed by George Roy Hill, is the Academy Award Winning Best Picture of 1973. The stylish comedy reunited superstars Paul Newman and Robert Redford as a pair of endearingly slick con men. Not just a box office success, THE STING was nominated for a total of ten Academy Awards - winning six including Best Director; Best Art Direction; Best Costume Design; Best Scoring ­ Original Song Score/Adaptation and Best Story and Screenplay Based on Factual Material or Material Not Previously Published or Produced. The score, adapted by Marvin Hamlisch, set off a rage for the ragtime music of Scott Joplin ­ sending Joplin's "The Entertainer" to the top of the charts!

THE STING is being released in Pan & Scan and Widescreen versions with THX sound. The Pan & Scan version includes a rather unique collector's item: a CD containing four musical selections from the soundtrack ("The Entertainer"; "Merry Go Round"; "Solace"; & "Hooker's Hooker") shaped to resemble a thematic icon from the film!
