P*****s me off to no end. . . .

. . . that Marvin Hamlisch got so much credit for the soundtrack of this film.

Of course, much of the blame goes to the lack of education of the American public who failed to recognize that the composer of the music was Scott Joplin, not Hamslisch. But Hamlisch didn't shrink at having his name emblazoned across the covers of sheet music and even in the opening credits of the film.

For years, I would be playing a gig and some jerk would come up to me and say, "Oh, can you play, "The Sting."

"No, but I can punch you in face," is what I WANTED to say. To this day, many believe Hamlisch responsible for the soundtrack.

Ugh.

AND == He is credited as "music adapter." I have NO IDEA WHAT THAT MEANS. The arranger was someone else, so I'm wrong about the above. Hamlisch didn't even arrange the music. What did he do??? Still can't figure it out!!!

Never seen the credit: "Music Adapter" == have you???
