0:00.0	Hello and welcome to a very special episode of The Cinefiles.
0:10.7	I'm Steve Morris here with my partner, John Roker.
0:13.0	Hello.
0:14.2	And it was funny.
0:14.9	Last year, it sort of happened organically.
0:17.9	We decided to do a deep dive not just into the career of Robert Redford, but the
0:23.2	career of Robert Redford and Paul Newman, which led us to do both Butch Cassidy and the Sundance
0:28.3	Kid, which we just re-release yesterday. And today we're re-releasing our deep dive into their second
0:34.3	team-up film, and that is The Sting.
0:41.0	Yeah, it's amazing when you ride these waves of the universe sometimes.
0:45.7	You just don't know what you're doing at a certain moment in your life that will eventually carry much more resonance a little bit later and sometimes quickly later.

1:24.5	closest you get to kind of seeing his beginnings, this idea of almost being
1:30.1	like an individual entity who is taken in by this older guy to teach him the ropes, but he is like a con man
1:37.1	and he's trying to survive on the streets by making these moves. But he has these like relationships
1:42.1	and characters and whatever and then gets paired together with Paul Newman's character and what they pull off. And it's amazing
1:48.7	to watch him in this film. And I think I think it is something that I think spoke to him on so
1:53.9	many levels as an actor, this character. I also think that there's a great ability to see that
