‘The Sting’ (1973)
The issue with “The Sting” was not the size of its stars. It starred two juggernauts, Paul Newman and Robert Redford. It was not a domestic drama, but a caper film. In this case, the quietness of the film itself isn’t to blame for being forgotten, but its place in history. Unfortunately, the winners the year before and after were both “Godfather” films, and it’s hard to be remembered when you’re sandwiched between two such huge classics.
