Description

In late 1890s Wyoming, Butch Cassidy is the affable, clever and talkative leader of the outlaw Hole in the Wall Gang. His closest companion is the laconic dead-shot Sundance Kid. As the west rapidly becomes civilized, the law finally catches up to Butch, Sundance and their gang. Chased doggedly by a special posse, the two decide to make their way to South America in hopes of evading their pursuers once and for all.

Esto es un robo, las manos arriba! Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid is directed by George Roy Hill and written by William Goldman. It stars Paul Newman, Robert Redford, Katharine Ross and Strother Martin. A Panavision/De Luxe production with music by Burt Bacharach and cinematography by Conrad Hall. Not exactly a hit with the critics of the time, Butch Cassidy and the Sundance Kid had no s...

I found this movie to be entertaining and intelligent, sticking surprisingly close to real events a lot of the time. Robert Redford and Paul Newman have a good chemistry together, as they will illustrate again in The Sting. This was one of if not the most popular movie the year it came out. Apparently s9me viewers feel it can’t decide whether it is a western or a comedy, but as an author who wr...

I remember when the scene where Sundance (Redford) looks like he is going to rape the gorgeous school teacher (Katherine Ross) telling her to undress at gunpoin...

Robert Redford and Paul Newman are on super form in this story of the eponymous turn of the century train robbers. There is loads of charisma on display as this pair take a sort of care in the community approach to their crimes. Determined to avoid fatalities, they proceed to make the life of poor old railway clerk "Woodcock" (George Furth) a nightmare. Eventually the authorities catch up with the...

**Unique among the westerns, we understand this film better in the light of the time in which it was made.** Butch Cassidy, Sundance Kid and the Hole in the Wall gang are in the “Hall of Fame” of the greatest thieves and robbers of the Old West. They had a long, varied and violent criminal career, with spectacular robberies of trains, stagecoaches and banks before moving to South America, where...

Butch Cassidy (Paul Newman) and the Sundance Kid (Robert Redford), leaders of a gang, find themselves chased by something special after a train robbery, and come up with an idea to escape to Bolivia. They commit a robbery smartly, being so naive in other fields. The unbalance makes it hard to simply see them as bad. They are even charming, probably because of Paul Newman and Robert Redford. Thi...
