Joplin was insanely good in both composing and playing. The original speed for the music is just incredibly fast, and the song is hard to play even at very low speed.
@MosinM38 Yes it is The Entertainer was strictly piano or at least the version I heard The Sting's version incorporated many more instruments which I why I like it more
The Sting won Best Picture in 1973, the year I was born, and it is my favorite movie. I love Redford, Newman and The Entertainer! A local department store used to have a lady playing the piano and I would always request The Entertainer and she would always play it. Love it.
Scott Joplin one said shortly before he died that it would be 50 yrs before his music was appreciated. took 55 years with the release of this movie for america to rediscover one of its lost sons and give him the honor he deserved and kick off the ragtime Renaissance
The best con movie ever made!!! Paul Newman at his best(RIP MR Newman)Redford and Shaw were awesome as well. One of my alltime favorites , can watch it over and over!!!
i saw this movie a few days ago and got hooked right away,i don't know how a masterpiece like that got by me in the last few years. yeah,great theme song too. rip Paul
all of the actors in the movie considered it to be the 'perfect' script with all of the cons, backstabbing, scams, gangsters, and such. the especially loved the music and considered it to be another 'character' in the movie because although ragtime was 20 years in decline when this movie takes place (1936) it fits the situations so perfectly.
