The delivery of the line "You owe me fifteen grand, pal" is literally perfect. The twinkle in his eye with the smirk while he essentially says 'I know you cheated, but I cheated better, and you can't say a thing.'

When i was a kid, my Dad took me to the drive in to see Jaws. We didn’t know it was a double feature, and The Sting was the first movie, and i was blown away. It’s still probably my favourite movie to this day. Thanks, Dad.

The silence when he lays down the four Jacks, the distant train whistle then silence again is a touch of genius.

The last breath Newman takes before kicking the door open is priceless…a man pulling the character he’s about to play into his lungs before he goes all in.

[lynnturman]

"Sorry I'm late guys, I was taking a crap." Then he shakes everybody's hand.

[gregforse]

Always loved the fact that when he says "you come to a game like this you bring your money" and then shows the Lonergan his own money that they stole earlier.

[mrspank]

"Oh come on, Linnemen, I was just starting to do good!" Mispronounces his name for about the 6th time.

I love how menacing every word from Robert Shaw (Lonnegan) is during the game. The pacing of his speech when he says "your three...and raise...500" is so chilling. Even his tone towards the dealer is domineering. Between him and Paul Newman, the acting prowess in this scene is unparalleled

[Belano]

This is an absolutely brilliant scene. Nobody can glower and menace by sheer acting power like Robert Shaw. Rest in Peace Mr. Shaw.

I love how everyone is close together and how personal it is. Really puts you in the room with them.

[benjammin]

I can’t help but replay the scene over and over when he says “oh, come on, Linneman, I was just starting to do good!” The way he says it and the slow annoyed laugh by Robert Shaw, and his over the top laugh in response. Just always puts a smile on my face.

[Hotspur]

I'm 61 and saw The Sting for the first time last year. What a great movie! Glad I caught it before dying haha.

[DelightLovesMovies]

Wow Paul Newman and Robert Shaw in the same frame. It doesn't get much better than that.

[pommie]

Paul Newman, Robert Shaw and Robert Redford-I mean, come on. Add to that, a great script, great directing, a great supporting cast and a spectacular soundtrack. One of the best films ever, no question.

[motherloverjones]

😂 Love the entrance when Shaw apologizes for being late because
he was taking a crap and then shakes everyone's hand. Classic.

[elementrypenguin]

The Look Lonegan gives to the dealer after Newman comes in is hilarious 😂

[jaceks]

The 2 "Shaws" are great, but the bodyguard sitting at the back (I think it's Charles Dierkop) deserves some credit. His expressions are priceless.

[johnjim]

I love Robert Shaw‘s facial expression during the last game. Dead serious, yet he can‘t hide his almost unnoticable smirk. What a fantastic actor, and what a shame that he left us so early.

[cptgibbs]

I love the real actor Mr Shaw talking to the actor pretending to be someone who's pretending to be named Mr Shaw

[dion]

‘Longbar will be joining you in a coupla minutes’ what a violation 😂😭
