Yes, dull, dull dull. :-)<BR>

We definitely SAW the same movie and were equally impressed - it's what we<BR>
heard that is problematic.<BR>
<BR>
What is not dull?<BR>

<BR>
Hamlisch's use of Joplin's music in Hill's "The Sting"<BR>

</FONT><FONT COLOR="#000000" style="BACKGROUND-COLOR: #ffffff" SIZE=3 FAMILY="SANSSERIF" FACE="Arial" LANG="0"> I agree that Marvin Hamlisch's use of Scott Joplin's music in "the Sting" was masterful. He slowed down "the Entertainer" and scored it as a band of that era would have done it. The result was a poignant peice of music that enhanced the movie greatly. He did the same with "Solace." A perfect match of music and show.<BR>
