Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid**
(US 1969)
Two cocky cowboy bank robbers eventually meet their demise after fleeing to Bolivia.
Not vintage but certainly very enjoyable tongue-in-cheek Western, influenced in turn by The Wild Bunch and Bonnie and Clyde, but gentler than either, with as much witty banter between the two stars as there is violent, lively action. A box office bonanza.
Written by: William Goldman.
Producers: Paul Newman, John Foreman.
Director: George Roy Hill.
Starring: Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Katharine Ross, Strother Martin, Henry Jones, Jeff Corey, Cloris Leachman.
Photography: Conrad Hall.
Music: Burt Bacharach.
