Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid Sponsored by Hunt Companies 1969 | PG | Adventure, Western | d. George Roy Hill Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Katharine Ross |

| Paul Newman and Robert Redford define “chemistry” in their first screen pairing as the affable title characters, outlaw buddies who rob the Union Pacific Railroad, elude a crack team of trackers and riflemen hired to hunt them down, and eventually escape to Bolivia where they mangle their Spanish during bank holdups. With Oscar-winning cinematography, screenplay and Burt Bacharach musical score (including the pop favorite “Raindrops Keep Falling on My Head”), along with fabulous action sequences, the film captures the anti-heroic spirit of the late 1960s and provides non-stop entertainment. With Katharine Ross as Sundance’s gal. - TS | ||
