As part of Universal’s centennial celebrations they are dusting off some of the more esteemed classics in their back catalogue (and some bizarre titles that would perhaps better be left confined to history), giving them the HD spit and polish treatment and re-releasing them.
One hugely welcome member of the upgrade club is 1973′s The Sting, starring Butch and Sundance (Paul Newman & Robert Redford), directed once again by George Roy Hill. I recently had the great pleasure of interviewing Michael Phillips, who along with his then wife Julia was presented with the Best Film Oscar that year for producing this peerless con film, which was especially enjoyable given his noticeable absence from the raft of special features being rolled out with the newly spruced up Blu-ray. Since it was only his second film as producer (after Steelyard Blues), I started by asking him how he became involved in the project.
