Paul Newman and Robert Redford, The Sting
保罗纽曼 和 罗伯特雷德福，《骗中骗》

Newman helped solidify Redford's leading man status when they teamed up for the first time with 1969's Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid, but when they met again for The Sting, Redford had come into his own as a marquee-topping star in his own right -- and the result was not only a seven-time Academy Award winner, but one of the all-time standard bearers for the heist caper genre. "The film is so good-natured, so obviously aware of everything it's up to, even its own picturesque frauds," confessed Vincent Canby of the New York Times, "that I opt to go along with it."
纽曼与雷德福在1969年的首次合作《虎豹小霸王》帮助后者树立了其影坛领军人物的地位。但当他们在《骗中骗》中再度合作时，雷德福早已如日中天——凭借自己的努力——结果就是该片不仅获得了七项奥斯卡奖，更是成为了骗术电影永远的领袖之作。“这部影片如此有趣，又将其涵义表现得如此明了，甚至片中独特的骗术也让我深深赞叹。”《纽约时报》的文森特坎比如是评价。
