Interesting facts

Nick the Sting is a 1976 Italian film directed by Fernando Di Leo. It stars Luc Merenda, Lee J. Cobb and Gabriele Ferzetti.

Production

Nick the Sting was described by Italian film historian and critic Roberto Curti as a "work for hire" for director Fernando Di Leo. The film went into production after finishing Kidnap Syndicate with a screenplay already written by Alberto Silvestri based around the film The Sting.

Nick the Sting was shot at Elios Studio in Rome and on location in Geneve. Leo recalled that the film did not have a good production, finding Merenda not up to the task as a lead and the script did not come up as well as it had on paper.
