Plot
In 1930s Chicago, two con men plot an elaborate scheme to cheat a mob boss.
Sinekatalog’s take
Two con men set up an elaborate fake betting parlour to fleece a mobster. Paul Newman and Robert Redford are effortless, and George Roy Hill's light, ragtime-scored caper keeps its final twist well hidden.Sinekatalog’s own editorial review – not a user or critic quote.
