* AwesomeDearBoy: Numerous actors were offered the role of Doyle Lonnegan, and all, for various reasons, including the fact that the role was the movie's "mark," turned down the offer. When it finally came to Creator/RobertShaw, he had no qualms whatsoever, and readily accepted the part. Producer Julia Phillips praised Shaw in an interview, stating that she personally felt he saved the picture, as it would have been impossible to make without casting the key role of Lonnegan.

* TechnologyMarchesOn: Gondorff and Hooker's scam involves them betting on horse races that have already taken place, but before the results have gone out across the country via Western Union telegraphs. It wouldn't work today where instant communications mean the result of any sporting event is known around the world the moment it happens. The series 1 finale of ''{{Series/Hustle}}'' does an update-homage showing how it would work in the modern day.

* ColbertBump: Music/MarvinHamlisch's score, adapting a few Music/ScottJoplin pieces, raised Joplin's profile several decades after his death. Not only did Hamlisch's rendition of "The Entertainer" become a huge hit on the pop chart, but the soundtrack's success is credited with kickstarting Joplin's positive reappraisal by musicologists.
