Another notable movie for my young friend who can play games on my computer but only if he watches a movie with me.
I think I had not seen THE STING since it was a big deal in 1973 and everybody was humming Scott Joplin. Of course I remembered the final
outcome, but I did not remember how they got to that point and we had a
great time following the story together. He kept asking me questions like, “are they really FBI?“ and I had to admit I just didn’t remember and I was
wondering the same thing. It was fun.
He said it wasn’t the greatest movie he had ever seen but the acting was some of the greatest.
Who is that actor playing Gondorff?
That’s Paul Newman.
How old is he now?
He’s dead.
Well darn. He’s really good.
Another actor that impressed him, believe it or not, was Harold Gould. It wasn’t so much his acting as it was his clothes. The kid is 18 and really concerned about his appearance and he thinks Harold Gould, who is something of a dandy in the movie, really knew how to look sharp.
I have found that as long as I keep showing him good movies, he keeps
coming back for more.

So your friend is 17-18 and he hadn't come across Paul Newman before ?
Quite striking. I assume that U.S. channels show plenty of Newman movies
so does your friend not watch anything older unless it is with you ?
I don't remember when was the first time I saw Paul Newman but I had certainly seen plenty of his movies on Greek television before I was 17.
