🎬 🎧 I loved the music from "The Sting" (1973), and "The Entertainer" theme song was all over Top 40 radio that year.
I didn't learn till later, the movie's theme song and the film's score were adapted (by #MarvinHamlisch) from #ScottJoplin's "The Entertainer" (1902) and other ragtime music. Hamlisch won the #Oscar for "Best Song" and "Best Original Score and Adaptation."
Hamlisch did thank Mr. Joplin when he accepted his Oscars.
