Event Details
Jeremy Arnold returns to the Strand Theater in Schroon Lake this summer to present the 1973 classic movie, The Sting. The Sting stars Paul Newman and Robert Redford as two con men in 1930s Chicago. After a friend is killed by the mob, they try to get even by attempting to pull off the ultimate ‘sting.’ No one is to be trusted as the twists unfold, leading up to one of the greatest double-crosses in movie history. This is Newman and Redford at their finest.
