The Great Waldo Pepper is another good one, Frank Talman did the stunt flying.

Great movie. There's another good one making the rounds on streaming apps called Charley Varik, with Walter Matthau.

I remember that it was spoken well of, maybe got some awards, but don't recall ever seeing it. If it hits Roku or Tubi I will try to watch it.

I've heard that there's sequel to the Sting but I don't know the name. I guess that Lonnegan finds out who stung him and goes after them. Has anyone else heard about it?

My Dad and I met Frank Tallman and his wife in the airport terminal in Reno in 1975. He had flown his Grumman J2F Duck in an afternoon aerobatic display. I'm guessing somebody else flew his Duck away from Reno Stead Airport because they were catching a commercial flight.

You just brought up the big problem I have with the movie. Twenty people were in on the con. Lonnegan is no fool. He is going to find out what really happened, and payback would be very bad news especially for Robert Redford.

Another in the same vein is “A Big Hand For the Little Lady”, a Western.

Definitely one of my favorites. It’s been so long since I’ve seen Sting II that I can’t remember anything about it except Terry Garr. She’s another actress who I always thought was very attractive.
“Charley Varrick” is another good one, and “Big Hand For The Little Lady” is top notch.
Great cast and a wonderful story!
